When running several kvm processes with lots of memory overcommitment,
we have seen an oops during process shutdown:

The faulting instruction is the storage key operation (iske) in
ptep_rcp_copy (called by pte_clear, called by unmap_vmas). iske
reads dirty and reference bit information for a physical page and
requires a valid physical address. Since we are in pte_clear, we
cannot rely on the pte containing a valid address. Fortunately we
dont need these information in pte_clear - after all there is no
mapping. The best fix is to remove the needless call to ptep_rcp_copy
that contains the iske.
