The code for demoting segments to 4K had some issues, like for example,
when using _PAGE_4K_PFN flag, the first CPU to hit it would do the
demotion, but other CPUs hitting the same page wouldn't properly flush
their SLBs if mmu_ci_restriction isn't set.  There are also potential
issues with hash_preload not handling _PAGE_4K_PFN.  All of these are
non issues on current hardware but might bite us in the future.

This patch thus fixes it by:

 - Taking the test comparing the mm and current CPU context page
sizes to decide to flush SLBs out of the mmu_ci_restrictions test
since that can also be triggered by _PAGE_4K_PFN pages

 - Due to the above being done all the time, demote_segment_4k
doesn't need update the context and flush the SLB

 - demote_segment_4k can be static and doesn't need an EXPORT_SYMBOL

 - Making hash_preload ignore anything that has either _PAGE_4K_PFN
or _PAGE_NO_CACHE set, thus avoiding duplication of the complicated
logic in hash_page() (and possibly making hash_preload a little bit
faster for the normal case).
