x86/mm: Do not use paravirtualized calls in native_set_p4d()

In 4-level paging mode, native_set_p4d() updates the entry in the top-level
page table. With PTI, update to the top-level kernel page table requires
update to the userspace copy of the table as well, using pti_set_user_pgd().

native_set_p4d() uses p4d_val() and pgd_val() to convert types between
p4d_t and pgd_t.

p4d_val() and pgd_val() are paravirtualized and we must not use them in
native helpers, as they crash the boot in paravirtualized environments.

Replace p4d_val() and pgd_val() with native_p4d_val() and
native_pgd_val() in native_set_p4d().
