arm64/mm: Simplify and document pte_to_phys() for 52 bit addresses



pte_to_phys() assembly definition does multiple bits field transformations
to derive physical address, embedded inside a page table entry. Unlike its
C counter part i.e __pte_to_phys(), pte_to_phys() is not very apparent. It
simplifies these operations via a new macro PTE_ADDR_HIGH_SHIFT indicating
how far the pte encoded higher address bits need to be left shifted. While
here, this also updates __pte_to_phys() and __phys_to_pte_val().
