commit 67f87463

 upstream.

On x86, PMD entries are similar to _PAGE_PROTNONE protection and are
handled as NUMA hinting faults.  The following two page table protection
bits are what defines them

	_PAGE_NUMA:set	_PAGE_PRESENT:clear

A PMD is considered present if any of the _PAGE_PRESENT, _PAGE_PROTNONE,
_PAGE_PSE or _PAGE_NUMA bits are set.  If pmdp_invalidate encounters a
pmd_numa, it clears the present bit leaving _PAGE_NUMA which will be
considered not present by the CPU but present by pmd_present.  The
existing caller of pmdp_invalidate should handle it but it's an
inconsistent state for a PMD.  This patch keeps the state consistent
when calling pmdp_invalidate.
