[PATCH v6 15/20] powerpc/mm: don't use pte_alloc_one_kernel() before slab is available

In the same way as PPC64, let's handle pte allocation directly
in kernel_map_page() when slab is not available.

The new function early_pte_alloc_kernel() is put in as inline in
platforms pgalloc.h, this will allow to have different ones later.
It is not an issue because early_pte_alloc_kernel() is called only
once from map_kernel_page() and is inlined anyway.
