After 17d57a9206b4de6ad082ac9f2d2346985abbd2aa
(x86: fix x86-32 early fixmap initialization.) removing lg.ko caused a printk
from vunmap:

        mm/memory.c:115: bad pgd 004b3027.

On the second use after module load, the kernel crashes.

This fixes the immediate problem (accessed and dirty bits not set as
expected in pmd_none_or_clear_bad).  I can't see why this would cause
a crash, but I haven't been able to reproduce it once this is applied.
