Subject: [PATCH] mm: fix dump_vma() compilation

From: Stephen Warren <swarren@...dia.com>

dump_vma() was written to access fields within vma->vm_page_prot. However,
pgprot_t is sometimes a scalar and sometimes a struct (At least on ARM;
see arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-2level-types.h). use macro pgprot_val()
to get the value, so the code is immune to these differences.

This fixes:
mm/page_alloc.c: In function ‘dump_vma’:
mm/page_alloc.c:6742:46: error: request for member ‘pgprot’ in something not a structure or union

The cast is required to avoid:

mm/page_alloc.c: In function ‘dump_vma’:
mm/page_alloc.c:6745:3: warning: format ‘%lx’ expects argument of type ‘long unsigned int’, but argument 8 has type ‘pgprot_t’ [-Wformat]
