With some architectures like ppc64, set_pmd_at() cannot cope with
a situation where there is already some (different) valid entry present.
Use pmdp_set_access_flags() instead to modify the pfn which is built to
deal with modifying existing PMD entries.
This is similar to
commit cae85cb8add3 ("mm/memory.c: fix modifying of page protection by
insert_pfn()")
We also do similar update w.r.t insert_pfn_pud eventhough ppc64 don't support
pud pfn entries now.
Without this patch we also see the below message in kernel log
"BUG: non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm:"

I asked the reporter to try a kernel with commit c6f3c5ee40c1
"mm/huge_memory.c: fix modifying of page protection by
insert_pfn_pmd()" reverted and the failing test passed.
I think unaligned addresses have always been passed to
vmf_insert_pfn_pmd(), but nothing cared until this patch. I *think*
the only change needed is the following, thoughts?

I'll ask the reporter to try this fix as well.
