[RFC PATCH] powerpc/64s: __find_linux_pte synchronization vs pmdp_invalidate

The pmd_none check does not catch hugepage collapse, nor does the
pmd_present check in pmd_trans_huge, because hugepage collapse sets
!_PAGE_PRESENT && _PAGE_INVALID (which results in !pmd_none and
pmd_present).
Aneesh noticed we might need this check as well.
