When splitting a huge pmd pte, we need to mark the pmd entry invalid. We
can do that by clearing _PAGE_PRESENT bit. But then that will be taken as a
swap pte. In order to differentiate between the two use a software pte bit
when invalidating.
For regular pte, due to
bd5050e38aec ("powerpc/mm/radix: Change pte relax
sequence to handle nest MMU hang") we need to mark the pte entry invalid when
relaxing access permission. Instead of marking pte_none which can result in
different page table walk routines possibly skipping this pte entry, invalidate
it but still keep it marked present.
