mm/autonuma: don't use set_pte_at when updating protnone ptes

Architectures like ppc64, use privilege access bit to mark pte non
accessible.  This implies that kernel can do a copy_to_user to an
address marked for numa fault.  This also implies that there can be a
parallel hardware update for the pte.  set_pte_at cannot be used in such
scenarios.  Hence switch the pte update to use ptep_get_and_clear and
set_pte_at combination.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: remove unwanted ppc change, per Aneesh]
