This fixes a bug where adding a new guest HPT entry via the H_ENTER
hcall would lose the "changed" bit in the reverse map information
for the guest physical page being mapped.  The result was that the
KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG could return a zero bit for the page even though
the page had been modified by the guest.

This fixes it by only modifying the index and present bits in the
reverse map entry, thus preserving the reference and change bits.
We were also unnecessarily setting the reference bit, and this
fixes that too.

This is against Alex Graf's kvm-ppc-next branch plus the series of three
patches I just sent, but it should be independent of that series.
