[PATCH 3/3] powerpc/mm/hash: Avoid multiple HPT resize-downs on memory hotunplug

During memory hotunplug, after each LMB is removed, the HPT may be
resized-down if it would map a max of 4 times the current amount of memory.
(2 shifts, due to introduced histeresis)

It usually is not an issue, but it can take a lot of time if HPT
resizing-down fails. This happens  because resize-down failures
usually repeat at each LMB removal, until there are no more bolted entries
conflict, which can take a while to happen.

This can be solved by doing a single HPT resize at the end of memory
hotunplug, after all requested entries are removed.

To make this happen, it's necessary to temporarily disable all HPT
resize-downs before hotunplug, re-enable them after hotunplug ends,
and then resize-down HPT to the current memory size.

As an example, hotunplugging 256GB from a 385GB guest took 621s without
this patch, and 100s after applied.
