[PATCH V4 4/5] mm/hugetlb: Add prot_modify_start/commit sequence for hugetlb update

Architectures like ppc64 requires to do a conditional tlb flush based on the old
and new value of pte. Follow the regular pte change protection sequence for
hugetlb too. This allow the architectures to override the update sequence.
