MIPS: Avoid mcheck by flushing page range in huge_ptep_set_access_flags()

Problem:

1) Huge page mapping of anonymous memory is initially invalid.  Will be
   faulted in by copy-on-write mechanism.

2) Userspace attempts store at the end of the huge mapping.

3) TLB Refill exception handler fill TLB with a normal (4K sized)
   invalid page at the end of the huge mapping virtual address range.

4) Userspace restarted, and re-attempts the store at the end of the
   huge mapping.

5) Page from #3 is invalid, we get a fault and go to the hugepage
   fault handler.  This tries to map a huge page and calls
   huge_ptep_set_access_flags() to install the mapping.

6) We just call the generic ptep_set_access_flags() to set up the page
   tables, but the flush there assumes a normal (4K sized) page and
   only tries to flush the first part of the huge page virtual address
   out of the TLB, since the existing entry from step #3 doesn't
   conflict, nothing is flushed.

7) We attempt to load the mapping into the TLB, but because it
   conflicts with the entry from step #3, we get a Machine Check
   exception.

The fix: Flush the entire rage covered by the huge page in
huge_ptep_set_access_flags(), and remove the optimization in
local_flush_tlb_range() so that the flush actually does the correct
thing.
