Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 10/20] powerpc/mm: Fix __find_linux_pte() on 32 bits with PMD leaf entries

Building on 32 bits with pmd_leaf() not returning always false leads
to the following error:

  CC      arch/powerpc/mm/pgtable.o
arch/powerpc/mm/pgtable.c: In function '__find_linux_pte':
arch/powerpc/mm/pgtable.c:506:1: error: function may return address of local variable [-Werror=return-local-addr]
  506 | }
      | ^
arch/powerpc/mm/pgtable.c:394:15: note: declared here
  394 |         pud_t pud, *pudp;
      |               ^~~
arch/powerpc/mm/pgtable.c:394:15: note: declared here

This is due to pmd_offset() being a no-op in that case.

So rework it for powerpc/32 so that pXd_offset() are used on real
pointers and not on on-stack copies.
