Subject: mm/x86: make pud_leaf() only care about PSE bit
Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2024 14:12:22 -0400

When working on mprotect() on 1G dax entries, I hit an zap bad pud error
when zapping a huge pud that is with PROT_NONE permission.

Here the problem is x86's pud_leaf() requires both PRESENT and PSE bits
set to report a pud entry as a leaf, but that doesn't look right, as it's
not following the pXd_leaf() definition that we stick with so far, where
PROT_NONE entries should be reported as leaves.

To fix it, change x86's pud_leaf() implementation to only check against
PSE bit to report a leaf, irrelevant of whether PRESENT bit is set.
