[PATCH V5 11/17] powerpc/mm/hash: Increase VA range to 128TB

We update the hash linux page table layout such that we can support 512TB. But
we limit the TASK_SIZE to 128TB. We can switch to 128TB by default without
conditional because that is the max virtual address supported by other
architectures. We will later add a mechanism to on-demand increase the
application's effective address range to 512TB.

Having the page table layout changed to accommodate 512TB  makes testing large
memory configuration easier with less code changes to kernel
