Subject: [PATCH v3 01/22] mm/ptdump: replace READ_ONCE() with standard page table accessors

From: Anshuman Khandual <anshuman.khandual@....com>

Replace READ_ONCE() with standard page table accessors i.e pxdp_get()
which anyways default into READ_ONCE() in cases where platform does not
override.  Also convert ptep_get_lockless() into ptep_get() as well.
