[PATCH 2/3] mm: Allow arches to provide ptep_get()

Since commit 2ab3a0a02905 ("READ_ONCE: Enforce atomicity for
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE() memory accesses"), it is not possible anymore
to use READ_ONCE() to access complex page table entries like
the one defined for powerpc 8xx with 16k size pages.

Define a ptep_get() helper that architectures can override instead
of performing a READ_ONCE() on the page table entry pointer.

Fixes: 2ab3a0a02905 ("READ_ONCE: Enforce atomicity for {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() memory accesses")
