[PATCH 50 of 66] mprotect: transparent huge page support

From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org>

Natively handle huge pmds when changing page tables on behalf of
mprotect().

I left out update_mmu_cache() because we do not need it on x86 anyway
but more importantly the interface works on ptes, not pmds.
