sparc64: fix hugetlb for sun4u

Browse source 
commit 6fd44a481b upstream.

An attempt to exercise sparc hugetlb code in a sun4u-based guest
running under qemu results in the guest hanging due to being stuck
in a trap loop. This is due to invalid hugetlb TTEs being installed
that do not have the expected _PAGE_PMD_HUGE and page size bits set.
Although the breakage has gone apparently unnoticed for several years,
fix it now so there is the option to exercise sparc hugetlb code under
qemu. This can be useful because sun4v support in qemu does not support
linux guests currently and sun4v-based hardware resources may not be
readily available.

Fix tested with a 6.15.2 and 6.16-rc6 kernels by running libhugetlbfs
tests on a qemu guest running Debian 13.
