it's a typo, might as well fix it here, since I'm touching this function

it's used in KVM in the subsequent patches of this series.

should I add the export when KVM needs the funcion, instead?

I had thought about it, and I realized that probably we would not need
it. The guest is not running at this point, and we are replacing an
ASCE with a different one pointing to the same page tables.

I can of course add a lock if you think it looks nicer, we are not in a
fast path after all
