powerpc/64s/radix: Fix soft dirty tracking

It was reported that soft dirty tracking doesn't work when using the
Radix MMU.

The tracking is supposed to work by clearing the soft dirty bit for a
mapping and then write protecting the PTE. If/when the page is written
to, a page fault occurs and the soft dirty bit is added back via
pte_mkdirty(). For example in wp_page_reuse():

entry = maybe_mkwrite(pte_mkdirty(entry), vma);
if (ptep_set_access_flags(vma, vmf->address, vmf->pte, entry, 1))
update_mmu_cache(vma, vmf->address, vmf->pte);

Unfortunately on radix _PAGE_SOFTDIRTY is being dropped by
radix__ptep_set_access_flags(), called from ptep_set_access_flags(),
meaning the soft dirty bit is not set even though the page has been
written to.

Fix it by adding _PAGE_SOFTDIRTY to the set of bits that are able to be
changed in radix__ptep_set_access_flags().
