We are using huge_pte_alloc() from mm/hugetlb.c only when we have
CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETLB enabled. For every thing else we
use the definition here for BOOK3S platforms.

Both are same. __ffs() computes the __ilog2 of the size and arrives at
the page shift. Here we use the size directly instead.
