powerpc: Fix random segfault when freeing hugetlb range

The following random segfault is observed from time to time with
map_hugetlb selftest:

root@localhost:~# ./map_hugetlb 1 19
524288 kB hugepages
Mapping 1 Mbytes
Segmentation fault

[   31.219972] map_hugetlb[365]: segfault (11) at 117 nip 77974f8c lr 779a6834 code 1 in ld-2.23.so[77966000+21000]

This fault is due to hugetlb_free_pgd_range() freeing page tables
that are also used by regular pages.

As explain in the comment at the beginning of
hugetlb_free_pgd_range(), the verification done in free_pgd_range()
on floor and ceiling is not done here, which means
hugetlb_free_pte_range() can free outside the expected range.

As the verification cannot be done in hugetlb_free_pgd_range(), it
must be done in hugetlb_free_pte_range().
