Subject: [PATCH] mm/debug_vm_pgtable: Fix build failure with powerpc 8xx

Since commit 9e343b467c70 ("READ_ONCE: Enforce atomicity for
{READ,WRITE}_ONCE() memory accesses"), READ_ONCE() cannot be used
anymore to read complex page table entries. This leads to:

make[2]: *** [mm/debug_vm_pgtable.o] Error 1

Fix it by using the recently added ptep_get() helper.
