parisc: Optimize per-pagetable spinlocks
On parisc a spinlock is stored in the next page behind the pgd which protects against parallel accesses to the pgd. That's why one additional page (PGD_ALLOC_ORDER) is allocated for the pgd. Matthew Wilcox suggested that we instead should use a pointer in the struct page table for this spinlock and noted, that the comments for the PGD_ORDER and PMD_ORDER defines were wrong. Both suggestions are addressed with this patch. Instead of having an own spinlock to protect the pgd, we now switch to use the existing page_table_lock. Additionally, beside loading the pgd into cr25 in switch_mm_irqs_off(), the physical address of this lock is loaded into cr28 (tr4), so that we can avoid implementing a complicated lookup in assembly for this lock in the TLB fault handlers. The existing Hybrid L2/L3 page table scheme (where the pmd is adjacent to the pgd) has been dropped with this patch. Remove the locking in set_pte() and the huge-page pte functions too. They trigger a spinlock recursion on 32bit machines and seem unnecessary.
