mm: lift the x86_32 PAE version of gup_get_pte to common code
The split low/high access is the only non-READ_ONCE version of gup_get_pte that did show up in the various arch implemenations. Lift it to common code and drop the ifdef based arch override.

+ * WARNING: only to be used in the get_user_pages_fast() implementation.
+ *
+ * With get_user_pages_fast(), we walk down the pagetables without taking any
+ * locks. For this we would like to load the pointers atomically, but sometimes
+ * that is not possible (e.g. without expensive cmpxchg8b on x86_32 PAE). What
+ * we do have is the guarantee that a PTE will only either go from not present
+ * to present, or present to not present or both -- it will not switch to a
+ * completely different present page without a TLB flush in between; something
+ * that we are blocking by holding interrupts off.
+ *
+ * Setting ptes from not present to present goes:
+ *
+ * ptep->pte_high = h;
+ * smp_wmb();
+ * ptep->pte_low = l;
+ *
+ * And present to not present goes:
+ *
+ * ptep->pte_low = 0;
+ * smp_wmb();
+ * ptep->pte_high = 0;
+ *
+ * We must ensure here that the load of pte_low sees 'l' IFF pte_high sees 'h'.
+ * We load pte_high *after* loading pte_low, which ensures we don't see an older
+ * value of pte_high. *Then* we recheck pte_low, which ensures that we haven't
+ * picked up a changed pte high. We might have gotten rubbish values from
+ * pte_low and pte_high, but we are guaranteed that pte_low will not have the
+ * present bit set *unless* it is 'l'. Because get_user_pages_fast() only
+ * operates on present ptes we're safe.
