mm/hugetlb.c: use the right pte val for compare in hugetlb_cow
We cannot use the pte value used in set_pte_at for pte_same comparison, because archs like ppc64, filter/add new pte flag in set_pte_at. Instead fetch the pte value inside hugetlb_cow. We are comparing pte value to make sure the pte didn't change since we dropped the page table lock. hugetlb_cow get called with page table lock held, and we can take a copy of the pte value before we drop the page table lock. With hugetlbfs, we optimize the MAP_PRIVATE write fault path with no previous mapping (huge_pte_none entries), by forcing a cow in the fault path. This avoid take an addition fault to covert a read-only mapping to read/write. Here we were comparing a recently instantiated pte (via set_pte_at) to the pte values from linux page table. As explained above on ppc64 such pte_same check returned wrong result, resulting in us taking an additional fault on ppc64.
