mm/memory.c: recheck page table entry with page table lock held

We clear the pte temporarily during read/modify/write update of the pte.
If we take a page fault while the pte is cleared, the application can get
SIGBUS.  One such case is with remap_pfn_range without a backing
vm_ops->fault callback.  do_fault will return SIGBUS in that case.

Fix this by taking page table lock and rechecking for pte_none.
