I found it a little odd at first, but its avoiding the ptep and addr increments
the last time through the loop. Its the preferred pattern for these functions in
core-mm. See default set_ptes(), wrprotect_ptes(), clear_full_ptes() in
include/linux/pgtable.h.

So I'd prefer to leave it as is so that we match them. What do you think?
