[PATCH 1/1] powerpc: add 64 bit version of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect

The implementation of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() directly calls
ptep_set_wrprotect() to mark a hugepte write protected. However this
call is not appropriate on ppc64 kernels as this is a small page only
implementation. This can lead to the hash not being flushed correctly
when a mapping is being converted to COW, allowing processes to continue
using the original copy.
Currently huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() unconditionally calls
ptep_set_wrprotect(). This is fine on ppc32 kernels as this call is
generic. On 64 bit this is implemented as:
pte_update(mm, addr, ptep, _PAGE_RW, 0);
On ppc64 this last parameter is the page size and is passed directly on
to hpte_need_flush():
hpte_need_flush(mm, addr, ptep, old, huge);
And this directly affects the page size we pass to flush_hash_page():
flush_hash_page(vaddr, rpte, psize, ssize, 0);
As this changes the way the hash is calculated we will flush the wrong
pages, potentially leaving live hashes to the original page.
Move the definition of huge_ptep_set_wrprotect() to the 32/64 bit specific
headers.
