mm/gup: Provide gup_get_pte() more generic

Browse Source 
In order to write another lockless page-table walker, we need
gup_get_pte() exposed. While doing that, rename it to
ptep_get_lockless() to match the existing ptep_get() naming.

* completely different present page without a TLB flush in between; something
* that we are blocking by holding interrupts off.
*
* Setting ptes from not present to present goes:

* ptep->pte_high = h;

* And present to not present goes:
*
* ptep->pte_low = 0;

* ptep->pte_high = 0;
*
* We must ensure here that the load of pte_low sees 'l' IFF pte_high sees 'h'.
* We load pte_high *after* loading pte_low, which ensures we don't see an older
* value of pte_high. *Then* we recheck pte_low, which ensures that we haven't
* picked up a changed pte high. We might have gotten rubbish values from
* pte_low and pte_high, but we are guaranteed that pte_low will not have the
* present bit set *unless* it is 'l'. Because get_user_pages_fast() only
* operates on present ptes we're safe.
