While implementing TLB miss HW assistance on the 8xx, the following
warning was encountered:

[ 423.735757] ---[ end trace e9b222919a470790 ]---
This warning occurs when calling kmem_cache_zalloc() on a
cache having a constructor.
In this case it happens because PGD cache and 512k hugepte cache are
the same size (4k). While a cache with constructor is created for
the PGD, hugepages create cache without constructor and uses
kmem_cache_zalloc(). As both expect a cache with the same size,
the hugepages reuse the cache created for PGD, hence the conflict.
As the constructors only aim at zeroing the allocated memory, this
patch fixes this issue by removing the constructors and using
kmem_cache_zalloc() instead.
