On system with radix support available, early_radix_enabled() starts
returning true for a small window (until mmu_early_init_devtree() is
called) even when radix mode disabled on kernel command line. This causes
ppc64_bolted_size() to return ULONG_MAX in HPT mode instead of supported
segment size, during boot cpu paca allocation.

With kernel command line = "... disable_radix":

early_init_devtree:			  <- early_radix_enabled() = false
   early_init_dt_scan_cpus:		  <- early_radix_enabled() = false
       ...
       check_cpu_pa_features:		  <- early_radix_enabled() = false
       ...				^ <- early_radix_enabled() = TRUE
       allocate_paca:			| <- early_radix_enabled() = TRUE
           ...                           |
           ppc64_bolted_size:		| <- early_radix_enabled() = TRUE
               if (early_radix_enabled())| <- early_radix_enabled() = TRUE
                   return ULONG_MAX;     |
       ...                               |
   ...					| <- early_radix_enabled() = TRUE
   ...					| <- early_radix_enabled() = TRUE
   mmu_early_init_devtree()              V
   ...					  <- early_radix_enabled() = false

So far we have not seen any issue because allocate_paca() takes minimum of
ppc64_bolted_size and rma_size while allocating paca. However it is better
to close this window by fixing up the mmu features as early as possible.
This fixes early_radix_enabled() and ppc64_bolted_size() to return valid
values in radix disable mode. This patch will help subsequent patch to
depend on early_radix_enabled() check while detecting supported segment
size in HPT mode.

can you do that call inside check_cpu_pa_features? or is it because we 
have the same issue with baremetal platforms?

Can we also rename this to indicate we are sanitizing the feature flag 
based on kernel command line.  Something like

/* Update cpu features based on kernel command line */
update_cpu_features();
