powerpc/mm/radix: Fix kernel crash when running subpage protect test
This patch fixes the below crash by making sure we touch the subpage
protection related structures only if we know they are allocated on
the platform. With radix translation we don't allocate hash context at
all and trying to access subpage_prot_table results in:
Faulting instruction address: 0xc00000000008bdb4
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
LE PAGE_SIZE=64K MMU=Radix MMU=Hash SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA PowerNV

We also move the subpage_prot_table with mmp_sem held to avoid race
between two parallel subpage_prot syscall.
