powerpc/booke64: Move mb() to __set_pte_at() with kernel-addr test
map_kernel() doesn't catch all places that create kernel PTEs. In
particular, vmalloc() calls set_pte_at() directly. This causes a
crash when booting a non-SMP kernel on e6500.
Move the sync to __set_pte(), to be executed only for kernel addresses.
