powerpc/mm/slice: implement slice_check_range_fits
Rather than build slice masks from a range then use that to check for fit in a candidate mask, implement slice_check_range_fits that checks if a range fits in a mask directly. This allows several structures to be removed from stacks, and also we don't expect a huge range in a lot of these cases, so building and comparing a full mask is going to be more expensive than testing just one or two bits of the range. On POWER8, this increases vfork+exec+exit performance by 0.3% and reduces time to mmap+munmap a 64kB page by 5%.
