x86/mm: Prevent kernel Oops in PTDUMP code with HIGHPTE=y

The walk_pte_level() function just uses __va to get the virtual address of
the PTE page, but that breaks when the PTE page is not in the direct
mapping with HIGHPTE=y.

The result is an unhandled kernel paging request at some random address
when accessing the current_kernel or current_user file.

Use the correct API to access PTE pages.

Fixes: fe770bf0310d ('x86: clean up the page table dumper and add 32-bit support')
