x86/mm: Ignore A/D bits in pte/pmd/pud_none()

The erratum we are fixing here can lead to stray setting of the
A and D bits.  That means that a pte that we cleared might
suddenly have A/D set.  So, stop considering those bits when
determining if a pte is pte_none().  The same goes for the
other pmd_none() and pud_none().  pgd_none() can be skipped
because it is not affected; we do not use PGD entries for
anything other than pagetables on affected configurations.

This adds a tiny amount of overhead to all pte_none() checks.
I doubt we'll be able to measure it anywhere.
