x86: Compare physical instead of virtual PGD addresses

This is a preparatory patch for when pointers have tags in their
upper address bits. But it's a harmless change on its own.

The mm->pgd virtual address may be tagged because it came out of
the allocator at some point. The __va(read_cr3_pa()) address will
never be tagged (the tag bits are all 1's). A direct pointer value
comparison would fail if one is tagged and the other is not.

To fix this, just compare the physical addresses which are never
affected by tagging.
