[PATCH] powerpc/mm: Fix lazy icache flush on pre-POWER5

On 64-bit CPUs with no-execute support and non-snooping icache, such as
970 or POWER4, we have a software mechanism to ensure coherency of the
cache (using exec faults when needed).

This was broken due to a logic inversion when that code was rewritten
from assembly to C.
