Subject: [PATCH] mm: debug_vm_pgtable: Don't use __P000 directly

From: Guo Ren <guoren@...ux.alibaba.com>

The __Pxxx/__Sxxx macros are only for protection_map[] init. All
usage of them in linux should come from protection_map array.

Because a lot of architectures would re-initilize protection_map[]
array, eg: x86-mem_encrypt, m68k-motorola, mips, arm, sparc.

Using __P000 is not rigorous.

Changes since V2:
 - s/init protection_map[]/protection_map[] init/
 - s/Becasue/Because/
 - Remove unclear part
 - Replace __P000 and __S000 with protection_map[0] and
   protection_map[8]
