mm: do not lose dirty and accessed bits in pmdp_invalidate()
Vlastimil noted that pmdp_invalidate() is not atomic and we can lose dirty and access bits if CPU sets them after pmdp dereference, but before set_pmd_at(). The patch change pmdp_invalidate() to make the entry non-present atomically and return previous value of the entry. This value can be used to check if CPU set dirty/accessed bits under us. The race window is very small and I haven't seen any reports that can be attributed to the bug. For this reason, I don't think backporting to stable trees needed.
