Subject: [ 112/150] [PARISC] Purge existing TLB entries in set_pte_at and ptep_set_wrprotect

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

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

From: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@...l.net>

commit 7139bc1579901b53db7e898789e916ee2fb52d78 upstream.

This patch goes a long way toward fixing the minifail bug, and
it  significantly improves the stability of SMP machines such as
the rp3440.  When write  protecting a page for COW, we need to
purge the existing translation.  Otherwise, the COW break
doesn't occur as expected because the TLB may still have a stale entry
which allows writes.
