arm64: mm: use *_sect to check for section maps



The {pgd,pud,pmd}_bad family of macros have slightly fuzzy
cross-architecture semantics, and seem to imply a populated entry that
is not a next-level table, rather than a particular type of entry (e.g.
a section map).

In arm64 code, for those cases where we care about whether an entry is a
section mapping, we can instead use the {pud,pmd}_sect macros to
explicitly check for this case. This helps to document precisely what we
care about, making the code easier to read, and allows for future
relaxation of the *_bad macros to check for other "bad" entries.

To that end this patch updates the table dumping and initial table setup
to check for section mappings with {pud,pmd}_sect, and adds/restores
BUG_ON(*_bad((*p)) checks after we've handled the *_sect and *_none
cases so as to catch remaining "bad" cases.

In the fault handling code, show_pte is left with *_bad checks as it
only cares about whether it can walk the next level table, and this path
is used for both kernel and userspace fault handling. The former case
will be followed by a die() where we'll report the address that
triggered the fault, which can be useful context for debugging.
