radix_enabled() uses a jump label which is only valid after
mmu_feature_keys_init() is called. Before that point, on a pSeries
hash guest, early_check_vec5() clears MMU_FTR_TYPE_RADIX in
cur_cpu_spec->mmu_features but the jump label has not yet been patched,
so radix_enabled() incorrectly returns true.
Replace radix_enabled() with early_radix_enabled() which does a plain
bitmask check against cur_cpu_spec->mmu_features and is correct at all
times, including before jump label initialization.
Add the missing #include <asm/mmu.h> since early_radix_enabled() is
declared there.

The usage window where it goes wrong is:
early_setup:
configure_exceptions();
<exception can happen now, and could prepare/exit of corresponding exception>
<those could use radix_enabled() >
setup_feature_keys();
<jump labels are setup and post this it is safe to use radix_enabled()>
But since common wrappers don't have the context of early or late,
using early_radix_enabled() is safer option.
Commit message could convey the same.

If you have data, please put the values of both early_radix_enabled and radix_enabled()
in hash/radix guests in the chaneglog to ensure replacing with early variant
is functionally safe.
