powerpc/64s/kuap: Use mmu_has_feature()

Browse source 
In commit 8150a153c0 ("powerpc/64s: Use early_mmu_has_feature() in
set_kuap()") we switched the KUAP code to use early_mmu_has_feature(),
to avoid a bug where we called set_kuap() before feature patching had
been done, leading to recursion and crashes.

That path, which called probe_kernel_read() from printk(), has since
been removed, see commit 2ac5a3bf70 ("vsprintf: Do not break early
boot with probing addresses").

Additionally probe_kernel_read() no longer invokes any KUAP routines,
since commit fe557319aa ("maccess: rename probe_kernel_{read,write}
to copy_{from,to}_kernel_nofault") and c331652534 ("powerpc: use
non-set_fs based maccess routines").

So it should now be safe to use mmu_has_feature() in the KUAP
routines, because we shouldn't invoke them prior to feature patching.

This is essentially a revert of commit 8150a153c0 ("powerpc/64s: Use
early_mmu_has_feature() in set_kuap()"), but we've since added a
second usage of early_mmu_has_feature() in get_kuap(), so we convert
that to use mmu_has_feature() as well.
