This patch fixes the below crash by making sure we touch the subpage protection
related structures only if we know they are allocated on the platform. With
radix translation we don't allocate hash context at all and trying to access
subpage_prot_table results in

 Faulting instruction address: 0xc00000000008bdb4
 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
 LE PAGE_SIZE=64K MMU=Radix MMU=Hash SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA PowerNV

We also move the subpage_prot_table with mmp_sem held to avoid racec
between two parallel subpage_prot syscall.
