powerpc/booke64: Move mb() to __set_pte_at() with kernel-addr test
map_kernel() doesn't catch all places that create kernel PTEs. In particular, vmalloc() calls set_pte_at() directly. This causes a crash when booting a non-SMP kernel on e6500. Move the sync to __set_pte(), to be executed only for kernel addresses. Signed-off-by: Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>
