s390/mm: make the pxd_offset functions more robust



Change the way how pgd_offset, p4d_offset, pud_offset and pmd_offset
walk the page tables. pgd_offset now always calculates the index for
the top-level page table and adds it to the pgd, this is either a
segment table offset for a 2-level setup, a region-3 offset for 3-levels,
region-2 offset for 4-levels, or a region-1 offset for a 5-level setup.
The other three functions p4d_offset, pud_offset and pmd_offset will
only add the respective offset if they dereference the passed pointer.

With the new way of walking the page tables a sequence like this from
mm/gup.c now works:

     pgdp = pgd_offset(current->mm, addr);
     pgd = READ_ONCE(*pgdp);
     p4dp = p4d_offset(&pgd, addr);
     p4d = READ_ONCE(*p4dp);
     pudp = pud_offset(&p4d, addr);
     pud = READ_ONCE(*pudp);
     pmdp = pmd_offset(&pud, addr);
     pmd = READ_ONCE(*pmdp);
