Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/booke64: wrap tlb lock and search in htw miss with
 FTR_SMT

Virtualized environments may expose a e6500 dual-threaded core
as two single-threaded e6500 cores. Take advantage of this
and get rid of the tlb lock and the trap-causing tlbsx in
the htw miss handler by guarding with CPU_FTR_SMT, as it's
already being done in the bolted tlb1 miss handler.

As seen in the results below, measurements done with lmbench
random memory access latency test running under Freescale's
Embedded Hypervisor, there is a ~34% improvement.

Memory latencies in nanoseconds - smaller is better
    (WARNING - may not be correct, check graphs)
