radix_enabled() uses a jump label which is only valid after
mmu_feature_keys_init() is called. Before that point, on a pSeries
hash guest, early_check_vec5() clears MMU_FTR_TYPE_RADIX in
cur_cpu_spec->mmu_features but the jump label has not yet been patched,
so radix_enabled() incorrectly returns true.

Replace radix_enabled() with early_radix_enabled() which does a plain
bitmask check against cur_cpu_spec->mmu_features and is correct at all
times, including before jump label initialization.

Any Fixes: here?

Hello Michal,

Yes, this can have.

Fixes: 118178e62e2e ("powerpc: move NMI entry/exit code into wrapper")

As commit 118178e62e2e originally introduced !radxi_enabled() check in 
NMI wrapper path.


Regards,

Venkat.

Thanks

Michal

Add the missing #include <asm/mmu.h> since early_radix_enabled() is
declared there.
