3.13.11.1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me 
know.

------------------

From: Catalin Marinas <[email protected]>

commit 71fdb6bf61bf0692f004f9daf5650392c0cfe300 upstream.

Special pte mappings are not intended to be executable and do not even
have an associated struct page. This patch ensures that we do not call
__sync_icache_dcache() on such ptes.
