According to PAPR+ 3.2.2.2, the TCE is implemented as follows:
	bits  0-51: real page number
	bits 52-61: reserved for future use
	bits 62-63: page protection (read-only, write-only, read-write)

Possible values for the protection bits are necessarly non-zero and thus
H_PUT_TCE_INDIRECT currently always fails and returns H_PARAMETER.

The code explicitly clears the protection bits when computing the TCE offset,
a few lines below (tce_list & ~SPAPR_TCE_RW)... The sanity check is obviously
wrong for these bits.

Moreover, I could find no indication in PAPR+ that using the other reserved
bits should error out with H_PARAMETER.

This patch simply drops the offending check.
