    powerpc/booke: Fix boot crash due to null hugepd · 74e236a5

    commit 3fb66a70 upstream.
    
    On 32-bit book-e machines, hugepd_ok() no longer takes into account null
    hugepd values, causing this crash at boot:
    
      Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x80000000
      ...

    This impacts all nxp (ex-freescale) 32-bit booke platforms.
    
    This was caused by the change of hugepd_t.pd from signed to unsigned,
    and the update to the nohash version of hugepd_ok(). Previously
    hugepd_ok() could exclude all non-huge and NULL pgds using > 0, whereas
    now we need to explicitly check that the value is not zero and also that
    PD_HUGE is *clear*.
    
    This isn't protected by the pgd_none() check in __find_linux_pte_or_hugepte()
    because on 32-bit we use pgtable-nopud.h, which causes the pgd_none()
    check to be always false.
