From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt benh@kernel.crashing.org
commit f23ab3efb1b30cc5c5ef5ae4ef294ed467f30675 upstream.
Commit 398a719d34a1 ("powerpc/mm: Update bits used to skip hash_page") mistakenly dropped the DSISR_DABRMATCH bit from the mask of bit tested to skip trying to hash a page.
As a result, the DABR matches would no longer be detected.
This adds it back. We open code it in the 2 places where it matters rather than fold it into DSISR_BAD_FAULT_32S/64S because this isn't technically a bad fault and while we would never hit it with the current code, I prefer if page_fault_is_bad() didn't trigger on these.
