powerpc/mm/radix: Update pte update sequence for pte clear case

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1667116
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.
