Can you try the below patch. __get_user_pages_fast still does the endian
conversion because of usages like is_hugepd(__hugepd(pgd_val(pgd)) in
generic code.

    powerpc/mm: use _raw variant of page table accessors
    
    This switch few page table accessor to use the __raw variant and does
    the native to big endian conversion of constants. This helps in
    generating better code. We still have usages like
    is_hugepd(__hugepd(pgd_val(pgd))) which still does the endian conversion
    of page table values. Will get that in the next patch
