mm/gup: Move page table entry dereference into helper function
This is a preparation patch for the transition of x86 to the generic GUP_fast() implementation. On x86 PAE, page table entry is larger than sizeof(long) and we would need to provide a helper that can read the entry atomically. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
