[PATCH v3 3/7] powerpc/64s/radix: make ptep_get_and_clear_full non-atomic for the full case

[Nicholas Piggin]

This matches other architectures, when we know there will be no
further accesses to the address (e.g., for teardown), page table
entries can be cleared non-atomically.

The comments about NMMU are bogus: all MMU notifiers (including NMMU)
are released at this point, with their TLBs flushed. An NMMU access at
this point would be a bug.
