alpha: Define pgprot_modify to silence tautological comparison warnings

Alpha's pgprot_noncached, pgprot_writecombine, and pgprot_device are
all identity macros, so the generic pgprot_modify() produces
tautological self-comparisons that GCC warns about:

  include/linux/pgtable.h:1701:25: warning: self-comparison always
  evaluates to true [-Wtautological-compare]

Since all caching attributes are no-ops on Alpha, define
pgprot_modify() to simply return newprot.
