powerpc/mm/radix: Update pte update sequence for pte clear case
In the kernel we do follow the below sequence in different code paths. pte = ptep_get_clear(ptep) .... set_pte_at(ptep, pte) We do that for mremap, autonuma protection update and softdirty clearing. This implies our optimization to skip a tlb flush when clearing a pte update is not valid, because for DD1 system that followup set_pte_at will be done witout doing the required tlbflush. Fix that by always doing the dd1 style pte update irrespective of new_pte value. In a later patch we will optimize the application exit case.
