rS334230: Only crop the VPN on POWER4 and derivatives for TLBIE operations

Summary

PowerISA 2.03 and later require bits 14:65 in the RB register argument,
which is the full value of the vpn argument post-shift. Only POWER4, POWER4+,
and PPC970* need the upper 16 bits cropped.

With this change FreeBSD can boot to multi-user on POWER9.

On POWER9, I think the lock is unnecessary (the ISA spec doesn't mention it).

I can revisit that later. First make it work, then make it fast.
