[PATCH 02/24] powerpc/mm: Pre-filter SRR1 bits before do_page_fault()

By filtering the relevant SRR1 bits in the assembly rather than
in do_page_fault() itself, we avoid a conditional branch (since we
already come from different path for data and instruction faults).

This will allow more simplifications later
