That was because we just recently converted it into a static inline to
avoid UBSAN warnings:

    powerpc/64s/pgtable: fix an undefined behaviour

    Booting a power9 server with hash MMU could trigger an undefined
    behaviour because pud_offset(p4d, 0) will do,

    0 >> (PAGE_SHIFT:16 + PTE_INDEX_SIZE:8 + H_PMD_INDEX_SIZE:10)

    Fix it by converting pud_index() and friends to static inline
    functions.

AIUI that requirement comes from x86 which has:

#define KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY	pgd_index(PAGE_OFFSET)
#define KERNEL_PGD_PTRS		(PTRS_PER_PGD - KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY)
...
#define MAX_PREALLOCATED_USER_PMDS KERNEL_PGD_PTRS
...
pgd_t *pgd_alloc(struct mm_struct *mm)
{
	pgd_t *pgd;
	pmd_t *u_pmds[MAX_PREALLOCATED_USER_PMDS];


Which will produce a variable length array if pgd_index() isn't a
compile-time constant.
