[PATCH] powerpc/mm: Update mm context addr limit correctly.

We added the addr < TASK_SIZE check to avoid updating addr_limit unnecessarily and
also to avoid calling slice_flush_segments on all the cpus. This had the side
effect of having different behaviour when using an addr value above TASK_SIZE
before updating addr_limit and after updating addr_limit as show by below
output:
requesting with hint 0x0
Addr returned 0x7fff893a0000
requesting with hint 0xffffffffffffffff
Addr returned 0x7fff891b0000 <===== 1st return
requesting with hint 0x1000000000000
Addr returned 0x1000000000000
requesting with hint 0xffffffffffffffff
Addr returned 0x1ffff89410000 <==== second return
After fix:
requesting with hint 0x0
Addr returned 0x7fff8bc00000
requesting with hint 0xffffffffffffffff
Addr returned 0x1ffff8bc80000 <==== 1st return
requesting with hint 0x1000000000000
Addr returned 0x1000000000000
requesting with hint 0xffffffffffffffff
Addr returned 0x1ffff8bc60000 <==== second return
Fixes: 1b49451ebd3e9 (powerpc/mm: Enable mappings above 128TB)
