mm/debug_vm_pgtable: fix corrupted page flag
In page table entry modifying tests, set_xxx_at() are used to populate
the page table entries. On ARM64, PG_arch_1 (PG_dcache_clean) flag is
set to the target page flag if execution permission is given. The logic
exits since commit 4f04d8f00545 ("arm64: MMU definitions"). The page
flag is kept when the page is free'd to buddy's free area list. However,
it will trigger page checking failure when it's pulled from the buddy's
free area list, as the following warning messages indicate.

page dumped because: PAGE_FLAGS_CHECK_AT_PREP flag(s) set
This fixes the issue by clearing PG_arch_1 through flush_dcache_page()
after set_xxx_at() is called. For architectures other than ARM64, the
unexpected overhead of cache flushing is acceptable.
