Subject: mm/debug_vm_pgtable: fix build failure with powerpc 8xx
Since commit 9e343b467c70 ("READ_ONCE: Enforce atomicity for
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE() memory accesses"), READ_ONCE() cannot be used anymore
to read complex page table entries. This leads to:

Fix it by using the recently added ptep_get() helper.
