    x86: guard against undue super page PTE creation

    When optional super page support got added (commit bd1cd81d64 "x86: PV
    support for hugepages"), two adjustments were missed: mod_l2_entry()
    needs to consider the PSE and RW bits when deciding whether to use the
    fast path, and the PSE bit must not be removed from L2_DISALLOW_MASK
    unconditionally.

    This is CVE-2015-7835 / XSA-148.
