Without this if firmware reports 1MB page size support we will crash
trying to use 1MB as hugetlb page size.
echo 300 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1024kB/nr_hugepages
kernel BUG at ./arch/powerpc/include/asm/hugetlb.h:19!

[c0000000e2c27e30] c00000000000ac98 handle_page_fault+0x10/0x30
With fix, we don't enable 1MB as hugepage size.
