mm: numa: add paranoid check around pte_protnone_numa
pte_protnone_numa is only safe to use after VMA checks for PROT_NONE are complete. Treating a real PROT_NONE PTE as a NUMA hinting fault is going to result in strangeness so add a check for it. BUG_ON looks like overkill but if this is hit then it's a serious bug that could result in corruption so do not even try recovering. It would have been more comprehensive to check VMA flags in pte_protnone_numa but it would have made the API ugly just for a debugging check.
