[PATCH] x86_64 add NX mask for PTE entry

Hi,
If function change_page_attr_addr calls revert_page to revert
to original pte value, mk_pte_phys does not mask NX bit. If NX bit
is set on no NX hardware supported x86_64 machine, there is will
be RSVD type page fault and system will crash. This patch adds NX
mask bit for PTE entry.
