[PATCH] 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.
* We want to ensure that set_pte_at is always called w/a pte that is not
  valid.  Change kunmap_atomic to always clear the pte.
* Change pte_clear to use pte_update so only the flag word is cleared

Do we want to unconditionally change kunmap_atomic or not?
