CONFIG_PPC_PTDUMP currently selects CONFIG_DEBUG_FS. But CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
is user-selectable, so we shouldn't select it. Instead depend on it.

<title>powerpc/mm: Fix page table dump build on non-Book3S</title>

<content type='text'>
In the recent commit 1515ab932156 ("powerpc/mm: Dump hash table") we
added code to dump the hage page table. Currently this can be selected
to build on any platform. However it breaks the build if we're building
for a non-Book3S platform, because none of the hash page table related
defines and so on exist. So restrict it to building only on Book3S.

Similarly in commit 8eb07b187000 ("powerpc/mm: Dump linux pagetables")
we added code to dump the Linux page tables, which uses some constants
which are only defined on Book3S - so guard those with an #ifdef.

Fixes: 1515ab932156 ("powerpc/mm: Dump hash table")

Useful to be able to dump the kernels page tables to check permissions
and memory types - derived from arm64's implementation.

Add a debugfs file to check the page tables. To use this the PPC_PTDUMP
config option must be selected.

<title>powerpc/mm: Catch usage of cpu/mmu_has_feature() before jump label init</title>

This allows us to catch incorrect usage of cpu_has_feature() and
mmu_has_feature() prior to jump labels being initialised.

mpe: Use printk() and dump_stack() rather than WARN_ON(), because
WARN_ON() may not work this early in boot. Rename the Kconfig.

Add a kconfig option to control whether we use jump label for the
cpu/mmu_has_feature() checks. Currently this does nothing, but we will
enabled it in the subsequent patches.

<title>powerpc/pseries: HVC early debug options should depend on HVC_CONSOLE</title>

<content type='text'>
The pseries HVC early debug options, CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_LPAR and
CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_LPAR_HVSI both require code that is part of the
hvc driver. If we turn them on but not CONFIG_HVC_CONSOLE then we get:

  arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o: In function `.udbg_early_init':
  arch/powerpc/kernel/built-in.o:(.debug_addr+0x9a00): undefined reference to `udbg_init_debug_lpar'

Similarly for HVSI. So make them both depend on CONFIG_HVC_CONSOLE.

Testing done by Paul Mackerras has shown that with a modern compiler
there is no negative effect on code generation from enabling
STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS.

So remove the option, and always use the strict type definitions.
