[v2,08/32] mm/page_vma_mapped: pte_offset_map_nolock() not pte_lockptr()

Commit Message

map_pte() use pte_offset_map_nolock(), to make sure of the ptl belonging
to pte, even if pmd entry is then changed racily: page_vma_mapped_walk()
use that instead of getting pte_lockptr() later, or restart if map_pte()
found no page table.
