Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm/dump_pagetables: Check PAGE_PRESENT for real

The check for a present page in printk_prot():

       if (!pgprot_val(prot)) {
                /* Not present */

is bogus. If a PTE is set to PAGE_NONE then the pgprot_val is not zero and
the entry is decoded in bogus ways, e.g. as RX GLB. That is confusing when
analyzing mapping correctness. Check for the present bit to make an
informed decision.
