Mel Gorman a9c8e4beee xen: properly account for _PAGE_NUMA during xen pte translations 
Steven Noonan forwarded a users report where they had a problem starting
vsftpd on a Xen paravirtualized guest, with this in dmesg:

  BUG: Bad page map in process vsftpd  pte:8000000493b88165 pmd:e9cc01067

  BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff880e9ca60580 idx:1 val:1

The issue could not be reproduced under an HVM instance with the same
kernel, so it appears to be exclusive to paravirtual Xen guests.  He
bisected the problem to commit 1667918b64 ("mm: numa: clear numa
hinting information on mprotect") that was also included in 3.12-stable.

The problem was related to how xen translates ptes because it was not
accounting for the _PAGE_NUMA bit.  This patch splits pte_present to add
a pteval_present helper for use by xen so both bare metal and xen use
the same code when checking if a PTE is present.
