Aneesh has reported that PPC triggers the following warning when
excercising DAX code:

  IP set_pte_at+0x3c/0x190
  LR insert_pfn+0x208/0x280
  Call Trace:
     insert_pfn+0x68/0x280
     dax_iomap_pte_fault.isra.7+0x734/0xa40
     __xfs_filemap_fault+0x280/0x2d0
     do_wp_page+0x48c/0xa40
     __handle_mm_fault+0x8d0/0x1fd0
     handle_mm_fault+0x140/0x250
     __do_page_fault+0x300/0xd60
     handle_page_fault+0x18

Now that is WARN_ON in set_pte_at which is

        VM_WARN_ON(pte_hw_valid(*ptep) && !pte_protnone(*ptep));

The problem is that on some architectures set_pte_at() cannot cope with
a situation where there is already some (different) valid entry present.

Use ptep_set_access_flags() instead to modify the pfn which is built to
deal with modifying existing PTE.
