Is this good?

    mm/hugetlb: Add prot_modify_start/commit sequence for hugetlb update
    
    Architectures like ppc64 requires to do a conditional tlb flush based on the old
    and new value of pte. Follow the regular pte change protection sequence for
    hugetlb too. This allow the architectures to override the update sequence.
