powerpc/mm: Fix encoding of page table cache numbers
The mask used to encode the page table cache number in the batch when freeing page tables was too small for the new possible values of MMU page sizes. This increases it along with a comment explaining the constraints. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
