Convert PTE accesses via ptep_get() helper that defaults as READ_ONCE() but
also provides the platform an opportunity to override when required.

Suggest reading once into a temporary so that the pte can't change between the 2
gets. In practice, it's not likely to be a huge problem for this instance since
its under the PTL so can only be racing with HW update of access and dirty. But
good practice IMHO:
pte_t __old = ptep_get(ptep); \
WARN_ON_ONCE(pte_present(__old) && !pte_same(__old, pte)); \
Thanks,
