Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] powerpc/mm/hugetlb: Fix kernel crash if we fail to allocate page table caches

From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 28 May 2019 11:06:25 +0530

We only check for hugetlb allocations, because with hugetlb we do conditional
registration. For PGD/PUD/PMD levels we register them always in
pgtable_cache_init.
