During our test in ext4 dax linux-v5.10 on arm64. A BUG_ON is trigger in
follow_invalidate_pte as follow since this pmd is seem as pmd_trans_huge.
However this page is really a dax-pmds rather than a pmd trans huge.
Call trace is shown as follow:

Commit 5c7fb56e5e3f ("mm, dax: dax-pmd vs thp-pmd vs hugetlbfs-pmd") and
commit 36b78402d97a ("powerpc/hash64/devmap: Use H_PAGE_THP_HUGE when
setting up huge devmap PTE entries") already check pmd_devmap during
checking pmd_trans_huge. Since pmd_devmap() is used to distinguish dax-pmds,
add the same check for arm64 to fix this problem.
Add PTE_DEVMAP in pte_modify as commit 4628a64591e6 ("mm: Preserve
_PAGE_DEVMAP across mprotect() calls") does to avoid the same issue in
mprotect.
Fixes: 73b20c84d42d ("arm64: mm: implement pte_devmap support")
