Commit 2ab3a0a02905 ("READ_ONCE: Enforce atomicity for
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE() memory accesses") leads to following build
failure on powerpc 8xx.
To fix it, this small series introduces a new helper named ptep_get()
to replace the direct access with READ_ONCE(). This new helper
can be overriden by architectures.
