mm/hugetlb.c: use the right pte val for compare in hugetlb_cow

We cannot use the pte value used in set_pte_at for pte_same comparison,
because archs like ppc64, filter/add new pte flag in set_pte_at.
Instead fetch the pte value inside hugetlb_cow.  We are comparing pte
value to make sure the pte didn't change since we dropped the page table
lock.  hugetlb_cow get called with page table lock held, and we can take
a copy of the pte value before we drop the page table lock.

With hugetlbfs, we optimize the MAP_PRIVATE write fault path with no
previous mapping (huge_pte_none entries), by forcing a cow in the fault
path.  This avoid take an addition fault to covert a read-only mapping
to read/write.  Here we were comparing a recently instantiated pte (via
set_pte_at) to the pte values from linux page table.  As explained above
on ppc64 such pte_same check returned wrong result, resulting in us
taking an additional fault on ppc64.
