powerpc/mmap: Any hint > 128TB searches the full VA space
As part of the new large address space support, processes start out life with a
128TB virtual address space. However when calling mmap() a process can pass a
hint address, and if that hint is > 128TB the kernel will use the full 512TB
address space to try and satisfy the mmap() request.
Currently we have a check that the hint is > 128TB and < 512TB (TASK_SIZE),
which was added as an optimisation to avoid updating addr_limit unnecessarily
and also to avoid calling slice_flush_segments() on all CPUs more than
necessary.
However this has the user-visible side effect that an mmap() hint above 512TB
does not search the full address space unless a preceding mmap() used a hint
value > 128TB && < 512TB.
So fix it to treat any hint above 128TB as a hint to search the full address
space, instead of checking the hint against TASK_SIZE, we instead check if the
addr_limit is already == TASK_SIZE.
This also brings the ABI in-line with what is proposed on x86. ie, that a hint
address above 128TB up to and including (2^64)-1 is an indication to search the
full address space.
Fixes: f4ea6dcb08ea2c (powerpc/mm: Enable mappings above 128TB)
