      mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()

Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture
will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when
freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works.

Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole
virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE
page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry
RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct
entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted,
we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions.

The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks
too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and
almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the
argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.

      NFSv4: Fix a problem whereby a buggy server can oops the kernel · d953126a
      Trond Myklebust authored 
      We just had a case in which a buggy server occasionally returns the wrong
attributes during an OPEN call. While the client does catch this sort of
condition in nfs4_open_done(), and causes the nfs4_atomic_open() to return
-EISDIR, the logic in nfs_atomic_lookup() is broken, since it causes a
fallback to an ordinary lookup instead of just returning the error.

When the buggy server then returns a regular file for the fallback lookup,
the VFS allows the open, and bad things start to happen, since the open
file doesn't have any associated NFSv4 state.

The fix is firstly to return the EISDIR/ENOTDIR errors immediately, and
secondly to ensure that we are always careful when dereferencing the
nfs_open_context state pointer.
