um: Abandon the _PAGE_NEWPROT bit

When a PTE is updated in the page table, the _PAGE_NEWPAGE bit will
always be set. And the corresponding page will always be mapped or
unmapped depending on whether the PTE is present or not. The check
on the _PAGE_NEWPROT bit is not really reachable. Abandoning it will
allow us to simplify the code and remove the unreachable code.
