From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
We should use pmdp_set_access_flags to update access flags. Archs like powerpc
use extra checks(_PAGE_BUSY) when updating a hugepage PTE. A set_pmd_at doesn't
do those checks. We should use set_pmd_at only when updating a none hugepage PTE.
