[PATCH] powerpc/nohash: Fix use of mmu_has_feature() in setup_initial_memory_limit()

setup_initial_memory_limit() is called from early_init_devtree(), which
runs prior to feature patching. If the kernel is built with CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL=y
and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL_FEATURE_CHECKS=y then we will potentially get the
wrong value.

If we also have CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL_FEATURE_CHECK_DEBUG=y we get a warning
and backtrace:

  Warning! mmu_has_feature() used prior to jump label init!

Fix it by using early_mmu_has_feature().
