[POWERPC] Don't use SLAB/SLUB for PTE pages

The SLUB allocator relies on struct page fields first_page and slab,
overwritten by ptl when SPLIT_PTLOCK: so the SLUB allocator cannot then
be used for the lowest level of pagetable pages.  This was obstructing
SLUB on PowerPC, which uses kmem_caches for its pagetables.  So convert
its pte level to use normal gfp pages (whereas pmd, pud and 64k-page pgd
want partpages, so continue to use kmem_caches for pmd, pud and pgd).
