Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/booke: Fix boot crash due to null hugepd

On 32-bit book-e machines, hugepd_ok() no longer takes into account null
hugepd values, causing this crash at boot:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x80000000
  ...
  NIP [c0018378] follow_huge_addr+0x38/0xf0
  LR [c001836c] follow_huge_addr+0x2c/0xf0
  Call Trace:

   try_to_run_init_process+0x18/0x60
   kernel_init+0xbc/0x110
   ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x64

This impacts all nxp (ex-freescale) 32-bit booke platforms.

This was caused by the change of hugepd_t.pd from signed to unsigned,
and the update to the nohash version of hugepd_ok(). Previously
hugepd_ok() could exclude all non-huge and NULL pgds using > 0, whereas
now we need to explicitly check that the value is not zero and also that
PD_HUGE is *clear*.

This isn't protected by the pgd_none() check in __find_linux_pte_or_hugepte()
because on 32-bit we use pgtable-nopud.h, which causes the pgd_none()
check to be always false.
