Subject: [PATCH v2 04/12] powerpc: assert_pte_locked() use
 pte_offset_map_nolock()

Instead of pte_lockptr(), use the recently added pte_offset_map_nolock()
in assert_pte_locked().  BUG if pte_offset_map_nolock() fails: this is
stricter than the previous implementation, which skipped when pmd_none()
(with a comment on khugepaged collapse transitions): but wouldn't we want
to know, if an assert_pte_locked() caller can be racing such transitions?

This mod might cause new crashes: which either expose my ignorance, or
indicate issues to be fixed, or limit the usage of assert_pte_locked().
