Subject: linux-next: 1ea0704e (ptep_modify_prot transaction abstraction) breaks no-mmu

the functions added to asm-generic/pgtable.h are only used by
mm/mprotect.c (a MMU-only file), but they were not added inside of the
CONFIG_MMU ifdef block.  since the functions rely on things inside of
CONFIG_MMU (the lines just above in pgtable.h), we get build failure
on all no-mmu setups:
