[PATCH] powerpc/mm: Update set_ptes to call pte_filter for all the ptes

With commit 9fee28baa601 ("powerpc: implement the new page table range
API") we added set_ptes to powerpc architecture but the implementation
missed calling the pte filter for all the ptes we are setting in the
range. set_pte_filter can be used for filter pte values and on some
platforms which don't support coherent icache it clears the exec bit so
that we can flush the icache on exec fault

The patch also removes the usage of arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu() because
set_pte is not supposed to be used when updating a pte entry. Powerpc
architecture uses this rule to skip the expensive tlb invalidate which
is not needed when you are setting up the pte for the first time. See
commit 56eecdb912b5 ("mm: Use ptep/pmdp_set_numa() for updating
_PAGE_NUMA bit") for more details
