f5ea64dcba powerpc: Get USE_STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS working again
The typesafe version of the powerpc pagetable handling (with
USE_STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS defined) has bitrotted again.  This patch
makes a bunch of small fixes to get it back to building status.

It's still not enabled by default as gcc still generates worse
code with it for some reason.

ce0ad7f095 powerpc/mm: Lockless get_user_pages_fast() for 64-bit (v3)
Implement lockless get_user_pages_fast for 64-bit powerpc.

Page table existence is guaranteed with RCU, and speculative page references
are used to take a reference to the pages without having a prior existence
guarantee on them.
