On pre-Niagara systems, we fetch the fault address on data TLB

contains the context ID assosciated with the fault in the low 13 bits
of the register value.

This propagates into current_thread_info()->fault_address and can
cause trouble later on.

So clear the low 13-bits out of the TLB_TAG_ACCESS value in the cases
where it matters.

I'm going to go ahead and give this patch a test on an E6K, i'll report my findings later tonight.
