Subject: [PATCH] mm: Fix modifying of page protection by insert_pfn()
Patch-mainline: v5.1-rc3
Git-commit: cae85cb8add35f678cf487139d05e083ce2f570a
References: bsc#1126740
Aneesh has reported that PPC triggers the following warning when
excercising DAX code:
[c00000000007610c] set_pte_at+0x3c/0x190
LR [c000000000378628] insert_pfn+0x208/0x280
Call Trace:

[c0000002125dfe20] [c00000000000acf4] handle_page_fault+0x18
Now that is WARN_ON in set_pte_at which is
VM_WARN_ON(pte_hw_valid(*ptep) && !pte_protnone(*ptep));
The problem is that on some architectures set_pte_at() cannot cope with
a situation where there is already some (different) valid entry present.
Use ptep_set_access_flags() instead to modify the pfn which is built to
deal with modifying existing PTE.
