Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/64s: __find_linux_pte() synchronization vs
 pmdp_invalidate()

The change to pmdp_invalidate() to mark the pmd with _PAGE_INVALID
broke the synchronisation against lock free lookups,
__find_linux_pte()'s pmd_none() check no longer returns true for such
cases.

Fix this by adding a check for this condition as well.
