[PATCH] mm: pte_offset_map_lock loops

Convert those common loops using page_table_lock on the outside and
pte_offset_map within to use just pte_offset_map_lock within instead.

These all hold mmap_sem (some exclusively, some not), so at no level can a
page table be whipped away from beneath them.  But whereas pte_alloc loops
tested with the "atomic" pmd_present, these loops are testing with pmd_none,
which on i386 PAE tests both lower and upper halves.

That's now unsafe, so add a cast into pmd_none to test only the vital lower
half: we lose a little sensitivity to a corrupt middle directory, but not
enough to worry about.  It appears that i386 and UML were the only
architectures vulnerable in this way, and pgd and pud no problem.
