[PATCH v3 2/2] powerpc/mm: call H_BLOCK_REMOVE when supported

Depending on the hardware and the hypervisor, the hcall H_BLOCK_REMOVE may
not be able to process all the page sizes for a segment base page size, as
reported by the TLB Invalidate Characteristics.

For each pair of base segment page size and actual page size, this
characteristic tells us the size of the block the hcall supports.

In the case, the hcall is not supporting a pair of base segment page size,
actual page size, it is returning H_PARAM which leads to a panic like this:

The call to H_BLOCK_REMOVE should only be made for the supported pair of
base segment page size, actual page size and using the correct maximum
block size.

Due to the required complexity in do_block_remove() and
call_block_remove(), and the fact that currently a block size of 8 is
returned by the hypervisor, we are only supporting 8 size block to the
H_BLOCK_REMOVE hcall.

In order to identify this limitation easily in the code,a local define
HBLKR_SUPPORTED_SIZE defining the currently supported block size, and a
dedicated checking helper is_supported_hlbkr() are introduced.

For regular pages and hugetlb, the assumption is made that the page size is
equal to the base page size. For THP the page size is assumed to be 16M.
