powerpc/mm: Fix set_memory_*() against concurrent accesses

Laurent reported that STRICT_MODULE_RWX was causing intermittent crashes
on one of his systems:

Jordan, Fabiano & Murilo were able to reproduce and identify that the
problem is caused by the call to module_enable_ro() in do_init_module(),
which happens after the module's init function has already been called.

Our current implementation of change_page_attr() is not safe against
concurrent accesses, because it invalidates the PTE before flushing the
TLB and then installing the new PTE. That leaves a window in time where
there is no valid PTE for the page, if another CPU tries to access the
page at that time we see something like the fault above.

We can't simply switch to set_pte_at()/flush TLB, because our hash MMU
code doesn't handle a set_pte_at() of a valid PTE. See [1].

But we do have pte_update(), which replaces the old PTE with the new,
meaning there's no window where the PTE is invalid. And the hash MMU
version hash__pte_update() deals with synchronising the hash page table
correctly.
