Fix this by restoring the original behavior. A possible impact of the misbehaving pmdp_invalidate() would be the MADV_DONTNEED races (see commits ced10803 and 58ceeb6b), although we should not have any negative impact on the related dirty/young flags, since those flags are not set by the hardware on s390.
