[PATCH] ARM: 8579/1: mm: Fix definition of pmd_mknotpresent

commit 56530f5d2ddc9b9fade7ef8db9cb886e9dc689b5 upstream.
Currently pmd_mknotpresent will use a zero entry to respresent an
invalidated pmd.
Unfortunately this definition clashes with pmd_none, thus it is
possible for a race condition to occur if zap_pmd_range sees pmd_none
whilst __split_huge_pmd_locked is running too with pmdp_invalidate
just called.
This patch fixes the race condition by modifying pmd_mknotpresent to
create non-zero faulting entries (as is done in other architectures),
removing the ambiguity with pmd_none.

This is a backport of commit 56530f5d2ddc ("ARM: 8579/1: mm: Fix
definition of pmd_mknotpresent") to the 3.14.x stable kernel and
earlier because the original patch does not apply cleanly.
As noted in the "Cc: stable" tag above, this patch requires commit
624531886987 ("ARM: 8578/1: mm: ensure pmd_present only checks the valid
bit"), already queued for 3.14.x stable kernel.
