mm: abstract moving to the next PFN

In order to fix the L1TF vulnerability, x86 can invert the PTE bits for
PROT_NONE VMAs, which means we cannot move from one PTE to the next by
adding 1 to the PFN field of the PTE.  This results in the BUG reported at
[1].

Abstract advancing the PTE to the next PFN through a pte_next_pfn()
function/macro.
