powerpc: remove superfluous PageTail checks on the pte gup_fast
commit 2839bdc1bfc0af76a2f0f11eca011590520a04fa upstream.
This part of gup_fast doesn't seem capable of handling hugetlbfs ptes,
those should be handled by gup_hugepd only, so these checks are
superfluous.
Plus if this wasn't a noop, it would have oopsed because, the insistence
of using the speculative refcounting would trigger a VM_BUG_ON if a tail
page was encountered in the page_cache_get_speculative().
