[PATCH kernel v2 2/6] KVM: PPC: Validate all tces before updating tables

The KVM TCE handlers are written in a way so they fail when either
something went horribly wrong or the userspace did some obvious mistake
such as passing a misaligned address.

We are going to enhance the TCE checker to fail on attempts to map bigger
IOMMU page than the underlying pinned memory so let's valitate TCE
beforehand.

This should cause no behavioral change.
