The pmd_present() check added above is superflous because there's no
point to call pmdp_invalidate if the pmd is not present (present as in
pmd_present) already. pmd_present returns true if _PAGE_PSE is set
and it was always set before calling pmdp_invalidate.
It looks like we could skip the flush if _PAGE_PRESENT is not set
(i.e. for example if the pmd is PROTNONE) but that's not what the above
pmd_present will do.
