Subject: mm: debug_vm_pgtable: Don't use __P000 directly

The __Pxxx/__Sxxx macros are only for init protection_map[].  All usage of
them in linux should come from protection_map array.

Because a lot of architectures would re-initilize protection_map[] array,
eg: x86-mem_encrypt, m68k-motorola, mips, arm, sparc.

Using __P000 maybe won't cause bug because hw would deny access with
PROT_NONE permission, but it's not rigorous.
