[PATCH 1/3] powerpc: Define empty_zero_page[] in C

At the time being, empty_zero_page[] is defined in each
platform head.S.

Define it in mm/mem.c instead, and put it in BSS section instead
of the DATA section. Commit 5227cfa71f9e ("arm64: mm: place
empty_zero_page in bss") explains why it is interesting to have
it in BSS.

Applies on top of powerpc next-test with the Fixup for v3 "powerpc/nohash: Refactor update of BDI2000 pointers in switch_mmu_context()".
The last patch of this small series can be applied independently at the cost of a trivial conflict in asm-offsets.c
