[PATCH] arm64: hugetlb: fix the wrong return value for huge_ptep_set_access_flags

In current code, the @changed always returns the last one's
status for the huge page with the contiguous bit set.
This is really not what we want. Even one of the PTEs is changed,
we should tell it to the caller.

This patch fixes this issue.
