x86: mm: restore original pte_special check

Browse Source 
Commit b38af4721f59 ("x86,mm: fix pte_special versus pte_numa") adjusted
the pte_special check to take into account that a special pte had
SPECIAL and neither PRESENT nor PROTNONE.  Now that NUMA hinting PTEs
are no longer modifying _PAGE_PRESENT it should be safe to restore the
original pte_special behaviour.
