mm: THP page cache support for ppc64

Add arch specific callback in the generic THP page cache code that will
deposit and withdarw preallocated page table.  Archs like ppc64 use this
preallocated table to store the hash pte slot information.

Testing:
kernel build of the patch series on tmpfs mounted with option huge=always

thp_fault_alloc 72939
thp_fault_fallback 60547
