[PATCH v2 0/3] mm: cleanup clear_not_present_full_ptes()

While doing some review, I stumbled over clear_not_present_full_ptes()
and concluded that it needs some love.

Let's remove pte_clear_not_present_full() and cleanup
clear_not_present_full_ptes(), renaming it to clear_non_present_ptes().

Heavily build-tested, runtime tested only on x86-64.

  their pte_clear() macro by using "(void)addr"
