[PATCH] x86, pageattr: fix slow_virt_to_phys() for X86_PAE

[Dexuan Cui]

pte_pfn() returns a PFN of long (32 bits in 32-PAE), then
"long << PAGE_SHIFT" will overflow for PFNs above 4GB.

Due to this issue, some Linux 32-PAE distros, running as guests on Hyper-V,
with 5GB memory assigned, can't load the netvsc driver successfully and
hence the synthetic network device can't work (we can use the kernel parameter
mem=3000M to work around the issue).
