When a pmd entry is invalidated by pmd_mkinvalid,pmd_present should

So introduce a _PMD_PRESENT_INVALID_SHIFT bit to check if a pmd is
present but invalidated by pmd_mkinvalid.
What problem are you trying to fix ? What are the symptoms ?
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>
the test robot showed problems with your last version of the patch,
which hasn't been integrated into at least the MIPS tree, so no
need to that.

Hi Thomas,
The idea come from the commit:
b65399f6111b(arm64/mm: Change THP helpers to comply with generic MM
semantics).
There is an problem now:
CPU 0 CPU 1
pmdp_invalidate do_page_fault
... __handle_mm_fault
is_swap_pmd == true
trigger VM_BUG_ON() ?
set_pmd_at
the reason is that pmd_present return true,after this commit
pmd_present will return false,and the VM_BUG_ON will not be triggered.
Like arm64 does,we can introduce a new bit to fix this.
Thanks.
