[PATCH] Fix pte_exec/mkexec and use it in change_page_attr()

Fix the pte_exec/mkexec page table accessor functions to really use the NX bit. Previously they only checked the USER bit, but weren't actually used for anything. Then use them in change_page_attr() to manipulate the NX bit properly. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
