Mel Gorman af3e4aca47 powerpc: Do not assert pte_locked for hugepage PTE entries
With CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, an assertion is made when changing the protection
flags of a PTE that the PTE is locked. Huge pages use a different pagetable
format and the assertion is bogus and will always trigger with a bug looking
something like

 Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0xf1a00235800006f8

This patch fixes the problem by not asseting the PTE is locked for VMAs
backed by huge pages.
