Subject: [PATCH 16/31] x86, mm: simplify get_user_pages() PTE bit handling


From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>

The current get_user_pages() code is a wee bit more complicated
than it needs to be for pte bit checking.  Currently, it establishes
a mask of required pte _PAGE_* bits and ensures that the pte it
goes after has all those bits.

This consolidates the three identical copies of this code.
