s390/mm: fix CMMA vs KSM vs others
On heavy paging with KSM I see guest data corruption. Turns out that KSM will add pages to its tree, where the mapping return true for pte_unused (or might become as such later). KSM will unmap such pages and reinstantiate with different attributes (e.g. write protected or special, e.g. in replace_page or write_protect_page)). This uncovered a bug in our pagetable handling: We must remove the unused flag as soon as an entry becomes present again.
