x86/mm: Do not auto-massage page protections



A PTE is constructed from a physical address and a pgprotval_t.
__PAGE_KERNEL, for instance, is a pgprot_t and must be converted
into a pgprotval_t before it can be used to create a PTE.  This is
done implicitly within functions like pfn_pte() by massage_pgprot().

However, this makes it very challenging to set bits (and keep them
set) if your bit is being filtered out by massage_pgprot().

This moves the bit filtering out of pfn_pte() and friends.  For
users of PAGE_KERNEL*, filtering will be done automatically inside
those macros but for users of __PAGE_KERNEL*, they need to do their
own filtering now.

Note that we also just move pfn_pte/pmd/pud() over to check_pgprot()
instead of massage_pgprot().  This way, we still *look* for
unsupported bits and properly warn about them if we find them.  This
might happen if an unfiltered __PAGE_KERNEL* value was passed in,
for instance.
