This is a preparation for enabling THP migration.
As the commit b65399f6111b("arm64/mm: Change THP helpers
to comply with generic MM semantics") mentioned, pmd_present()
and pmd_trans_huge() are expected to behave in the following
manner:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|	PMD states	|	pmd_present	|	pmd_trans_huge	|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|	Mapped		|	Yes		|	Yes		|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|	Splitting	|	Yes		|	Yes		|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|	Migration/Swap	|	No		|	No		|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

At present the PROT_NONE bit reuses the READ bit could not comply with
above semantics with two problems:
1. When splitting a PMD THP, PMD is first invalidated with
pmdp_invalidate()->pmd_mkinvalid(), which clears the PRESENT bit
and PROT_NONE bit/READ bit, if the PMD is read-only, then the PAGE_LEAF
property is also cleared, which results in pmd_present() return false.
2. When migrating, the swap entry only clear the PRESENT bit
and PROT_NONE bit/READ bit, the W/X bit may be set, so _PAGE_LEAF may be
true which results in pmd_present() return true.

Solution:
Adjust PROT_NONE bit from READ to GLOBAL bit can satisfy the above rules:
1. GLOBAL bit has no other meanings, not like the R/W/X bit, which is
also relative with _PAGE_LEAF property.
2. GLOBAL bit is at bit 5, making swap entry start from bit 6, bit 0-5
are zero, which means the PRESENT, PROT_NONE, and PAGE_LEAF are
all false, then the pmd_present() and pmd_trans_huge() return false when
in migration/swap.
