I don't see that in 3.15rc1/rc4 -

static void clear_pmd_entry(struct kvm *kvm, pmd_t *pmd, phys_addr_t addr)
{
        if (kvm_pmd_huge(*pmd)) {
                pmd_clear(pmd);
                kvm_tlb_flush_vmid_ipa(kvm, addr);
        } else {
                  [....]
}

I thought the purpose of this function was to clear PMD entry. Also
ran hundreds of tests no problems. Hmmm confused.

Yes definitely.

mmu notifiers update sptes, but I don't see how these updates
can result in guest dirty pages. Also guest pages are marked dirty
from 2nd stage page fault handlers (searching through the code).
