Subject: [PATCH 4.18 75/79] x86/speculation/l1tf: Make pmd/pud_mknotpresent() invert

4.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

Some cases in THP like:
  - MADV_FREE
  - mprotect
  - split

mark the PMD non present for temporarily to prevent races. The window for
an L1TF attack in these contexts is very small, but it wants to be fixed
for correctness sake.

Use the proper low level functions for pmd/pud_mknotpresent() to address
this.
