[PATCH 2/3] powerpc/mm/hash: WARN if relocation is enabled and CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX

For radix we split the mapping into smaller page sizes (at the cost of
additional TLB overhead), but for hash its best to print a warning. In
the case of hash and no-relocation, the kernel should be well aligned
to provide the least overhead with the current linear mapping size (16M)
