ptep is unmapped too early, so ptep will be accessed while it's unmapped.
Fix it by deferring pte_unmap() until page table checking is done.

In the beginning, page_table_check only supported x86_64, so there
is no problem. But then the commit 3fee229a8eb9 ("riscv/mm: enable
ARCH_SUPPORTS_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK") added support for riscv-32, it is
indeed a problem in this case.

pte_unmap() is needed only with  CONFIG_HIGHPTE. I do not see this
config for  riskv-32?

My bad, but it's better to call pte_unmap() after the check is done.
