Subject: powerpc/mm: Fix lazy icache flush on pre-POWER5

From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

commit dd7b2f035ec41a409f7a7cec7aabc0ec0eacf476 upstream.

On 64-bit CPUs with no-execute support and non-snooping icache, such as
970 or POWER4, we have a software mechanism to ensure coherency of the
cache (using exec faults when needed).

This was broken due to a logic error when the code was rewritten
from assembly to C, previously the assembly code did:

  BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
         mr      r4,r30
         mr      r5,r7
         bl      hash_page_do_lazy_icache
  END_FTR_SECTION(CPU_FTR_NOEXECUTE|CPU_FTR_COHERENT_ICACHE, CPU_FTR_NOEXECUTE)

Which tests that:
   (cpu_features & (NOEXECUTE | COHERENT_ICACHE)) == NOEXECUTE

Which says that the current cpu does have NOEXECUTE, but does not have
COHERENT_ICACHE.
