Subject: [PATCH 4.9 27/66] s390/mm: Fix cmma unused transfer from pgste into pte

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

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

From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@...ibm.com>

commit 0d6da872d3e4a60f43c295386d7ff9a4cdcd57e9 upstream.

The last pgtable rework silently disabled the CMMA unused state by
setting a local pte variable (a parameter) instead of propagating it
back into the caller. Fix it.

Fixes: ebde765c0e85 ("s390/mm: uninline ptep_xxx functions from pgtable.h")
