[PATCH v3 1/4] mm: vmalloc must set pte via arch code

[Ryan Roberts]

It is bad practice to directly set pte entries within a pte table.
Instead all modifications must go through arch-provided helpers such as
set_pte_at() to give the arch code visibility and allow it to check
(and potentially modify) the operation.
