mm/huge_memory.c: fix modifying of page protection by insert_pfn_pmd()
With some architectures like ppc64, set_pmd_at() cannot cope with a
situation where there is already some (different) valid entry present.
Use pmdp_set_access_flags() instead to modify the pfn which is built to
deal with modifying existing PMD entries.
This is similar to commit cae85cb ("mm/memory.c: fix modifying of
page protection by insert_pfn()")
We also do similar update w.r.t insert_pfn_pud eventhough ppc64 don't
support pud pfn entries now.
Without this patch we also see the below message in kernel log "BUG:
non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm:"
