Subject: arm64: mm: add p?d_leaf() definitions

walk_page_range() is going to be allowed to walk page tables other than
those of user space.  For this it needs to know when it has reached a
'leaf' entry in the page tables.  This information will be provided by the
p?d_leaf() functions/macros.

For arm64, we already have p?d_sect() macros which we can reuse for
p?d_leaf().

pud_sect() is defined as a dummy function when CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS < 3
or CONFIG_ARM64_64K_PAGES is defined.  However when the kernel is
configured this way then architecturally it isn't allowed to have a large
page that this level, and any code using these page walking macros is
implicitly relying on the page size/number of levels being the same as the
kernel.  So it is safe to reuse this for p?d_leaf() as it is an
architectural restriction.
