[PATCH v2 2/4] powerpc: Fixes for CONFIG_PTE_64BIT for SMP support

There are some minor issues with support 64-bit PTEs on a 32-bit processor
when dealing with SMP.

* We need to order the stores in set_pte_at to make sure the flag word
  is set second.
* Change pte_clear to use pte_update so only the flag word is cleared
