__set_pte_at() lacks the call to set_pte_filter() and is only intended 
to be called directly in very specific situations like early KASAN where 
set_pte_filter() cannot be called but where we absolutely know that 
set_pte_filter() is not needed.

Are you really sure that all places you change are safe and do not 
require a call to set_pte_filter() ?
