In a subsequent patch, pmd_mknotpresent will clear the valid bit of the pmd entry, resulting in a not-present entry from the hardware's perspective. Unfortunately, pmd_present simply checks for a non-zero pmd value and will therefore continue to return true even after a pmd_mknotpresent operation. Since pmd_mknotpresent is only used for managing huge entries, this is only an issue for the 3-level case. This patch fixes the 3-level pmd_present implementation to take into account the valid bit. For bisectability, the change is made before the fix to pmd_mknotpresent.
