mm: numa: do not clear PTE for pte_numa update
The TLB must be flushed if the PTE is updated but change_pte_range is
clearing the PTE while marking PTEs pte_numa without necessarily
flushing the TLB if it reinserts the same entry. Without the flush,
it's conceivable that two processors have different TLBs for the same
virtual address and at the very least it would generate spurious faults.
This patch only unmaps the pages in change_pte_range for a full
protection change.
