powerpc/mm: Handle hypervisor pte insert failure in __hash_page_huge 

If the hypervisor gives us an error on a hugepage insert we panic. The
normal page code already handles this by returning an error instead and we end
calling low_hash_fault which will just kill the task if possible.

The patch below does a similar thing for the hugepage case.
