[PATCH] x86: fix {pmd,pud}_{set,clear}_flags()

From: Jan Beulich
Date: Mon Feb 19 2018 - 09:48:21 EST


Just like pte_{set,clear}_flags() their PMD and PUD counterparts should
not do any address translation. This was outright wrong under Xen
(causing a dead boot with no useful output on "suitable" systems), and
produced needlessly more complicated code (even if just slightly) when
paravirt was enabled.
