lguest: wire up pte_update/pte_update_defer
Impact: intermittent guest segv/crash fix
I've been seeing random guest bad address crashes and segmentation faults:
bisect led to 4f98a2fee8 (vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets),
but that's a red herring.
It turns out that lguest never hooked up the pte_update/pte_update_defer
calls, so our ptes were not always in sync. After the vmscan commit, the
bug became reproducible; now a fsck in a 64MB guest causes reproducible
pagetable corruption.
