Patch series "mm/debug_vm_pgtable fixes", v4.
This patch series includes fixes for debug_vm_pgtable test code so that
they follow page table updates rules correctly. The first two patches
introduce changes w.r.t ppc64.
Hugetlb test is disabled on ppc64 because that needs larger change to satisfy
page table update rules.
These tests are broken w.r.t page table update rules and results in kernel
crash as below.

This patch (of 13):
With the hash page table, the kernel should not use pmd_clear for clearing
huge pte entries. Add a DEBUG_VM WARN to catch the wrong usage.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
