[PATCH v2 2/2] powerpc/mm/radix: Use the right page size for vmemmap mapping

We use mmu_vmemmap_psize to find the page size for mapping the vmmemap area.
With radix translation, we are suboptimally setting this value to PAGE_SIZE.

We do check for 2M page size support and update mmu_vmemap_psize to use
hugepage size but we suboptimally reset the value to PAGE_SIZE in
radix__early_init_mmu(). This resulted in always mapping vmemmap area with
64K page size.
