[PATCH v12 10/11] powerpc: mm: Use set_pte_at_unchecked() for early-boot / internal usages

In the new set_ptes() API, set_pte_at() (a special case of set_ptes())
is intended to be instrumented by the page table check facility. There
are however several other routines that constitute the API for setting
page table entries, including set_pmd_at() among others. Such routines
are themselves implemented in terms of set_ptes_at().

A future patch providing support for page table checking on powerpc
must take care to avoid duplicate calls to
page_table_check_p{te,md,ud}_set(). Allow for assignment of pte entries
without instrumentation through the set_pte_at_unchecked() routine
introduced in this patch.

Cause API-facing routines that call set_pte_at() to instead call
set_pte_at_unchecked(), which will remain uninstrumented by page
table check. set_ptes() is itself implemented by calls to
__set_pte_at(), so this eliminates redundant code.

Also prefer set_pte_at_unchecked() in early-boot usages which should not be
instrumented.

v9: New patch
v10: don't reuse __set_pte_at(), as that will not apply filters. Instead
use new set_pte_at_unchecked().
v11: Include the assertion that hwvalid => !protnone. It is possible that
some of these calls can be safely replaced with __set_pte_at(), however
that will have to be done at a later stage.
