This implies our optimization to skip a tlb flush when clearing a pte update is not valid, because for DD1 system that followup set_pte_at will be done witout doing the required tlbflush. Fix that by always doing the dd1 style pte update irrespective of new_pte value. In a later patch we will optimize the application exit case.
