PROT_NONE is just a permission but since we don't have independent read
and write bits in the pte, we implement it as an invalid pte (bit 0
cleared). The other content of the pte is fine, so pte_pfn() should
still work. PTC could as well check this, I don't think it hurts.

My point is that the (pmd_val(pmd) & PTE_VALID) check is superfluous
since that's covered by pmd_leaf() already.
