arm64/mm: ptep_get(): New layer to manage contig bit
Create a new layer for the in-table PTE manipulation APIs. For now, The
existing API is prefixed with double underscore to become the
arch-private API and the public API is just a simple wrapper that calls
the private API.
The public API implementation will subsequently be used to transparently
manipulate the contiguous bit where appropriate. But since there are
already some contig-aware users (e.g. hugetlb, kernel mapper), we must
first ensure those users use the private API directly so that the future
contig-bit manipulations in the public API do not interfere with those
existing uses.
arm64 did not previously define an arch-specific ptep_get(), so override
the default version in the arch code, and also define the private
__ptep_get() version. Currently they both do the same thing that the
default version does (READ_ONCE()). Some arch users (hugetlb) were
already using ptep_get() so convert those to the private API. While
other callsites were doing direct READ_ONCE(), so convert those to use
the appropriate (public/private) API too.
No behavioural changes intended.
