[PATCH v2] powerpc/mm: Check for _PAGE_PTE in *_devmap()

The ISA radix translation tree contains two different types of entry,
directories and leaves. The formats of the two entries are different
with the directory entries containing no spare bits for use by software.
As a result we need to ensure that the *_devmap() family of functions
check fail for everything except leaf (PTE) entries.
