[PATCH] powerpc/nohash: fix undefined behaviour when testing page size support

From: Daniel Axtens <hidden>

When enumerating page size definitions to check hardware support,
we construct a constant which is (1U << (def->shift - 10)).

However, the array of page size definitions is only initalised for
various MMU_PAGE_* constants, so it contains a number of 0-initialised
elements with def->shift == 0. This means we end up shifting by a
very large number, which gives the following UBSan splat:

================================================================================
UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in /home/dja/dev/linux/linux/arch/powerpc/mm/tlb_nohash.c:506:21
shift exponent 4294967286 is too large for 32-bit type 'unsigned int'

Fix this by first checking if the element exists (shift != 0) before
constructing the constant.

Applied to powerpc next, thanks.
