x86/pat: Introduce lookup_address_in_pgd_attr()
[ Upstream commit ceb647b4b529fdeca9021cd34486f5a170746bda ]
Add lookup_address_in_pgd_attr() doing the same as the already
existing lookup_address_in_pgd(), but returning the effective settings
of the NX and RW bits of all walked page table levels, too.
This will be needed in order to match hardware behavior when looking
for effective access rights, especially for detecting writable code
pages.
In order to avoid code duplication, let lookup_address_in_pgd() call
lookup_address_in_pgd_attr() with dummy parameters.
