There are a number of conditions in the DSISR that represent
conditions for which there is no point looking for a VMA or
trying to update a PTE. In fact, POWER9 adds a few with bad
AMOs, bad "paste" instruction etc...

This improve our existing code to use symbolic constants for
all DSISR bits, properly avoid hash_page() for the new bits,
and handle both the old and new bits early in do_page_fault()
