mm: more ptep_get() conversion
Commit c33c794828f2 ("mm: ptep_get() conversion") converted all (non-arch) call sites to use ptep_get() instead of doing a direct dereference of the pte. Full rationale can be found in that commit's log. Since then, three new call sites have snuck in, which directly dereference the pte, so let's fix those up. Unfortunately there is no reliable automated mechanism to catch these; I'm relying on a combination of Coccinelle (which throws up a lot of false positives) and some compiler magic to force a compiler error on dereference (While this approach finds dereferences, it also yields a non-booting kernel so can't be committed).

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
