powerpc/book3s64/hash: Use secondary hash for bolted mapping if the primary is full
With bolted hash page table entry, kernel currently only use primary hash group when inserting the hash page table entry. In the rare case where kernel find all the 8 primary hash slot occupied by bolted entries, this can result in hash page table insert failure for bolted entries. Avoid this by using the secondary hash group. This is different from what kernel does for the non-bolted mapping. With non-bolted entries kernel will try secondary before removing an existing entry from hash page table group. With bolted prefer primary hash group and hence try to insert the page table entry by removing a slot from primary before trying the secondary hash group.
