[PATCH v4 01/20] mm: Dont assume page-table invariance during faults

[Laurent Dufour <ldufour@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

One of the side effects of speculating on faults (without holding
mmap_sem) is that we can race with free_pgtables() and therefore we
cannot assume the page-tables will stick around.

Remove the reliance on the pte pointer.

[Remove only if !__HAVE_ARCH_CALL_SPF]
