[PATCHv9 07/17] x86/mm: Return correct level from lookup_address() if pte is none

[Kirill A. Shutemov]

Currently, lookup_address() returns two things:
  1. A "pte_t" (which might be a p[g4um]d_t)
  2. The 'level' of the page tables where the "pte_t" was found
     (returned via a pointer)

If no pte_t is found, 'level' is essentially garbage.

Always fill out the level.  For NULL "pte_t"s, fill in the level where
the p*d_none() entry was found mirroring the "found" behavior.

Always filling out the level allows using lookup_address() to precisely
skip over holes when walking kernel page tables.

Add one more entry into enum pg_level to indicate the size of the VA
covered by one PGD entry in 5-level paging mode.

Update comments for lookup_address() and lookup_address_in_pgd() to
reflect changes in the interface.
