Nysal Jan K.A. 5156f7c484 selftests/mm: fix a build failure on powerpc 
commit 8cf6ecb18b upstream.

The compiler is unaware of the size of code generated by the ".rept"
assembler directive.  This results in the compiler emitting branch
instructions where the offset to branch to exceeds the maximum allowed
value, resulting in build failures like the following:

  CC       protection_keys
  /tmp/ccypKWAE.s: Assembler messages:
  /tmp/ccypKWAE.s:2073: Error: operand out of range (0x0000000000020158
  is not between 0xffffffffffff8000 and 0x0000000000007ffc)
  /tmp/ccypKWAE.s:2509: Error: operand out of range (0x0000000000020130
  is not between 0xffffffffffff8000 and 0x0000000000007ffc)

Fix the issue by manually adding nop instructions using the preprocessor.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
