This is a regression in 4.4-stable-rc, caused by the backport of commit 8f5f525d5b83f7d7 ("powerpc/64: Fix flush_(d|i)cache_range() called from modules").
The patch was also backported into v4.9-stable-rc, but did not cause problems there. The fixes tag suggests that the patch is needed on every version from 3.16 up, but apparently the fix needs to be a little different compared to newer kernels.
