Staring at pte_clear_tests():

#ifndef CONFIG_RISCV
	pte = __pte(pte_val(pte) | RANDOM_ORVALUE);
#endif
	set_pte_at(args->mm, args->vaddr, args->ptep, pte);

So we set random PTE bits, probably setting the present, uffd and write 
bit at the same time. That doesn't make too much sense when we want to 
perform that such combinations cannot exist.

In pmd_clear_tests() and friends we use WRITE_ONCE() instead, so there 
we don't run into trouble.
