[PATCH v2] powerpc/mm: export current mmu mode info

The kernel now supports both radix and hash MMU modes. Tools like crash
and makedumpfile need to know the current MMU mode the kernel is using,
to debug/analyze it.  The current MMU mode depends on hardware support
and also whether disable_radix cmdline parameter is passed to the kernel.
The mmu_features member of cpu_spec structure holds the current MMU mode
a cpu is using. But the above mentioned tools need to know the MMU mode
early in their init process, when they may not have access to offset info
of structure members. A hard-coded offset may help but it won't be robust.

This patch introduces a new global variable, which holds the current MMU
mode the kernel is running in and can be accessed by tools early in thier
init process, helping tools to initialize accurately for each MMU mode.
This patch also optimizes the radix_enabled() function call.
