[PATCH v11 01/22] mm: Add generic p?d_leaf() macros

[Steven Price]

Exposing the pud/pgd levels of the page tables to walk_page_range() means
we may come across the exotic large mappings that come with large areas
of contiguous memory (such as the kernel's linear map).

For architectures that don't provide all p?d_leaf() macros, provide
generic do nothing default that are suitable where there cannot be leaf
pages at that level. Futher patches will add implementations for
individual architectures.

The name p?d_leaf() is chosen to minimize the confusion with existing
uses of "large" pages and "huge" pages which do not necessary mean that
the entry is a leaf (for example it may be a set of contiguous entries
that only take 1 TLB slot). For the purpose of walking the page tables
we don't need to know how it will be represented in the TLB, but we do
need to know for sure if it is a leaf of the tree.
