The page table manipulation code seems to have grown a couple of
sites that are looking for empty PTEs. Just in case one of these
entries got a stray bit set, use pte_none() instead of checking
for a zero pte_val().
The use pte_same() makes me a bit nervous. If we were doing a
pte_same() check against two cleared entries and one of them had
a stray bit set, it might fail the pte_same() check. But, I
don't think we ever _do_ pte_same() for cleared entries. It is
almost entirely used for checking for races in fault-in paths.
