Vineet Gupta 3925a16ae9 ARC: mm: don't loose PTE_SPECIAL in pte_modify()
LTP madvise05 was generating mm splat

And for newer kernels, the system was rendered unusable afterwards.

The problem was mprotect->pte_modify() clearing PTE_SPECIAL (which is
set to identify the special zero page wired to the pte).
When pte was finally unmapped, special casing for zero page was not
done, and instead it was treated as a "normal" page, tripping on the
map counts etc.

This fixes ARC STAR 9001053308
