For contiguous hugetlb, huge_ptep_set_access_flags performs a
get_clear_flush (which then flushes the TLBs) even when no change of ptes
is necessary.
Unfortunately, this behaviour can lead to back-to-back page faults being
generated when running with multiple threads that access the same
contiguous huge page.

This patch changes huge_ptep_set_access_flags s.t. we first read the
contiguous range of ptes (whilst preserving dirty information); the pte
range is only then invalidated where necessary and this prevents further
spurious page faults.
