Subject: [RFC v2 PATCH 2/7] thp: introduce pmdp_invalidate()

On s390, a valid page table entry must not be changed while it is
attached to any CPU. So instead of pmd_mknotpresent() and set_pmd_at(),
an IDTE operation would be necessary there. This patch introduces the
pmdp_invalidate() function, to allow architecture-specific
implementations.
