I am not familiar with this code. But starring at other arch
implementations (eg. `arch/x86/mm/highmem_32.c`), it feels like
powerpc is skipping `pte_clear(&init_mm, vaddr, kmap_pte-idx);` unless
`CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM=y`. Could someone please confirm this is the
correct behavior ?

Or else I can rewrite the code a bit like `arch/arm/mm/highmem.c`
which skips `set_fixmap_pte(idx, __pte(0));` unless
`CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM=y`.
