[PATCH V4] powerpc/hugetlb: Add ABI defines for supported HugeTLB page sizes

This just adds user space exported ABI definitions for 2MB, 16MB, 1GB,
16GB non default huge page sizes to be used with mmap() system call.

These defined values will be used along with MAP_HUGETLB while calling
mmap() system call if the desired HugeTLB page size is not the default
one. Follows similar definitions present in x86.

arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/mman.h:#define MAP_HUGE_2MB    (21 << MAP_HUGE_SHIFT)
arch/x86/include/uapi/asm/mman.h:#define MAP_HUGE_1GB    (30 << MAP_HUGE_SHIFT)

Changes in V4:
- Added defines for 512KB and 8MB HugeTLB page sizes per Christophe

Changes in V3:
- Added comment about how these defines will help create 'flags'
  argument for mmap() system call per Balbir

Changes in V2:
- Added definitions for 2MB and 1GB HugeTLB pages per Aneesh
