powerpc/kvm/cma: Fix panic introduces by signed shift operation
fc95ca72 introduces a memset in kvmppc_alloc_hpt since the general CMA doesn't clear the memory it allocates. However, the size argument passed to memset is computed from a signed value and its signed bit is extended by the cast the compiler is doing. This lead to extremely large size value when dealing with order value >= 31, and almost all the memory following the allocated space is cleaned. As a consequence, the system is panicing and may even fail spawning the kdump kernel. This fix makes use of an unsigned value for the memset's size argument to avoid sign extension. Among this fix, another shift operation which may lead to signed extended value too is also fixed.
