From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

We want to make sure we don't use these function when updating a pte
or pmd entry that have a valid hpte entry, because these functions
don't invalidate them. So limit the check to _PAGE_PRESENT bit.
Numafault core changes use these functions for updating _PAGE_NUMA bits.
That should be ok because when _PAGE_NUMA is set we can be sure that
hpte entries are not present.
