[PATCH V2] powerpc/mm/hugetlb: initialize the pagetable cache correctly for hugetlb

With 64k page size, we have hugetlb pte entries at the pmd and pud level for
book3s64. We don't need to create a separate page table cache for that. With 4k
we need to make sure hugepd page table cache for 16M is placed at PUD level
and 16G at the PGD level.

Simplify all these by not using HUGEPD_PD_SHIFT which is confusing for book3s64.

Without this patch, with 64k page size we create pagetable caches with shift
value 10 and 7 which are not used at all.

Fixes:419df06eea5bfa81("powerpc: Reduce the PTE_INDEX_SIZE")
