We don't need to update linux page table entry with _PAGE_HASHPTE early
in hash pte fault. A parallel pte update will loop via _PAGE_BUSY
and look at _PAGE_HASHPTE for a required hpte flush only if
_PAGE_BUSY is cleared. That ensures a pte update will wait for a
parallel hpte insert to finish before looking at _PAGE_HASHPTE bit.
To avoid further confusion drop setting _PAGE_HASHPTE in cmpxchg in __hash_page_4K.
commit 41743a4e34 ("powerpc: Free a PTE bit on ppc64 with 64K pages")
did similar change for 64K config

We are updating pte in those functions.

Only difference here is, we apply the WIMG mapping early, so rflags
passed to updatepp will also be changed.

Instead of open coding it in multiple code paths, export the helper
and add more documentation. Also make sure we don't make assumption
regarding pte bit position

This is similar to 64K insert. May be we want to consolidate
