[PATCH v4 15/16] powerpc/32s: avoid crossing page boundary while changing SRR0/1.

Trying VMAP_STACK with KVM, vmlinux was not starting.
This was due to SRR0 and SRR1 clobbered by an ISI due to
the rfi being in a different page than the mtsrr0/1:

c0003fe0 <mmu_off>:
c0003fe0:       38 83 00 54     addi    r4,r3,84
c0003fe4:       7c 60 00 a6     mfmsr   r3
c0003fe8:       70 60 00 30     andi.   r0,r3,48
c0003fec:       4d 82 00 20     beqlr
c0003ff0:       7c 63 00 78     andc    r3,r3,r0
c0003ff4:       7c 9a 03 a6     mtsrr0  r4
c0003ff8:       7c 7b 03 a6     mtsrr1  r3
c0003ffc:       7c 00 04 ac     hwsync
c0004000:       4c 00 00 64     rfi

Align the 4 instruction block used to deactivate MMU to order 4,
so that the block never crosses a page boundary.
