powerpc/mm: fix _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY breaking swapoff
Swapoff after swapping hangs on the G5, when CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y but CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY is not set. That's because the non-zero _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit, added by CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_SOFT_DIRTY=y, is not discounted when CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY is not set: so swap ptes cannot be recognized. (I suspect that the peculiar dependence of HAVE_ARCH_SOFT_DIRTY on CHECKPOINT_RESTORE in arch/powerpc/Kconfig comes from an incomplete attempt to solve this problem.) It's true that the relationship between CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_SOFT_DIRTY and and CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY is too confusing, and it's true that swapoff should be made more robust; but nevertheless, fix up the powerpc ifdefs as x86_64 and s390 (which met the same problem) have them, defining the bits as 0 if CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY is not set.
