[PATCH] powerpc/mm: move setting pte specific flags to pfn_pmd

powerpc used to set the pte specific flags in set_pte_at().  This is
different from other architectures. To be consistent with other
architecture powerpc updated pfn_pte to set _PAGE_PTE with
commit 379c926d6334 ("powerpc/mm: move setting pte specific flags to pfn_pte")

The commit didn't do the same w.r.t pfn_pmd because we expect pmd_mkhuge
to do that. But as per Linus that is a bad rule [1].
Hence update pfn_pmd to set _PAGE_PTE.

[1]
" The rule that you must use "pmd_mkhuge()" seems _completely_ wrong.
It's insane. The only valid use to ever make a pmd out of a pfn is to
make a huge-page."
