Check against a context.id value of zero instead of MMU_NO_CONTEXT
when doing a slice psize init. Without this patch we end up with
a slice psize value of zero and we always end up using 4K hpte.

With Linux page size of 64K and hardware only supporting 4K hpte, if
we use subpage protection, we always fail for the subpage 0 as shown
below (using the selftest subpage_prot test).

This is because hash preload wrongly insert the hpte entry for subpage 0
without looking at the subapge protection information. Don't do hash
page table entry preload if we have subpage protection configured for
that range.

Applied to powerpc next, thanks.
