[PATCHv2 1/3] x86/mm: Provide pmdp_establish() helper

["Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>]

We need an atomic way to setup pmd page table entry, avoiding races with
CPU setting dirty/accessed bits. This is required to implement
pmdp_invalidate() that doesn't loose these bits.

On PAE we have to use cmpxchg8b as we cannot assume what is value of new pmd and
setting it up half-by-half can expose broken corrupted entry to CPU.
