mm: do not lose dirty and accessed bits in pmdp_invalidate()

Browse source 
Vlastimil noted that pmdp_invalidate() is not atomic and we can lose
dirty and access bits if CPU sets them after pmdp dereference, but
before set_pmd_at().

The patch change pmdp_invalidate() to make the entry non-present
atomically and return previous value of the entry.  This value can be
used to check if CPU set dirty/accessed bits under us.

The race window is very small and I haven't seen any reports that can be
attributed to the bug.  For this reason, I don't think backporting to
stable trees needed.
