Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/64s: __find_linux_pte() synchronization vs
pmdp_invalidate()
The change to pmdp_invalidate() to mark the pmd with _PAGE_INVALID
broke the synchronisation against lock free lookups,
__find_linux_pte()'s pmd_none() check no longer returns true for such
cases.
Fix this by adding a check for this condition as well.
Fixes: da7ad366b497 ("powerpc/mm/book3s: Update pmd_present to look at _PAGE_PRESENT bit")
