[PATCH] powerpc/mm: Initialize kernel pagetable memory for PTE fragments

[Anshuman Khandual]

Kernel pagetable pages for PTE fragments never go through the standard init
sequence which can cause inaccuracies in utilization statistics reported at
places like /proc and /sysfs interfaces etc. Also the allocated page misses
out on pagetable lock and page flag init as well. Fix it by making sure all
pages allocated for either user process or kernel PTE fragments go through
same initialization.
