powerpc/mm: Update default hugetlb size early
commit: d9c23400 ("Do not depend on MAX_ORDER when grouping pages by mobility") introduced pageblock_order which will be used to group pages better. The kernel now groups pages based on the value of HPAGE_SHIFT. Hence HPAGE_SHIFT should be set before we call set_pageblock_order. set_pageblock_order happens early in the boot and default hugetlb page size should be initialized before that to compute the right pageblock_order value. Currently, default hugetlbe page size is set via arch_initcalls which happens late in the boot as shown via the below callstack: [c000000007383b10] [c000000001289328] hugetlbpage_init+0x2b8/0x2f8 [c000000007383bc0] [c0000000012749e4] do_one_initcall+0x14c/0x320 [c000000007383c90] [c00000000127505c] kernel_init_freeable+0x410/0x4e8 [c000000007383da0] [c000000000012664] kernel_init+0x30/0x15c [c000000007383e10] [c00000000000cf14] ret_from_kernel_thread+0x5c/0x64 and the pageblock_order initialization is done early during the boot.

IIUC we always had this issue. But it was not a problem for hash translation mode because (MAX_ORDER - 1) is the same as HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER (8) in the case of hash (16MB). With radix, HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER will be 5 (2M size) and hence pageblock_order should be 5 instead of 8. Signed-off-by:Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:
