mm/mprotect: use huge_ptep_get() for hugetlb

Browse source 
prot_none_hugetlb_entry() is the hugetlb callback for the early
mprotect(PROT_NONE) PFN permission walk on x86.

The callback passes the decoded PFN to pfn_modify_allowed().  For a
hugetlb callback, the pte pointer refers to a hugetlb entry.  On
architectures where hugetlb entries need huge_ptep_get(), reading that
entry with ptep_get() can make the permission check use the wrong PFN.

Use huge_ptep_get() before decoding the hugetlb PFN.

Currently there is no path which can trigger a bug: huge_ptep_get() is a
simple ptep_get() for x86, and the prot_none walk occurs only for x86.

So no need to backport - use the correct helper anyways.
