I think you can get the pgd of this process by current->mm->pgd and
pgd_offset macro to ge the pgd entry for that address. There are
macros available for accessing pmd and pte too. For example
pte_offset_map for pte and a locking version for the same is also
there. I don't have any hands on experience on this,  so our kernel
experts can comment on this more.

And one more thing, if you can look at the function handle_mm_fault
(mm/memory.c), there are plenty of refererces for accesing these page
table entries.

I am not afraid and I am also not afraid of being afraid.
