Huacai Chen 4574815abf LoongArch: Use accessors to page table entries instead of direct dereference
As very well explained in commit 20a004e7b0 ("arm64: mm: Use
READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE when accessing page tables"), an architecture whose
page table walker can modify the PTE in parallel must use READ_ONCE()/
WRITE_ONCE() macro to avoid any compiler transformation.

So apply that to LoongArch which is such an architecture, in order to
avoid potential problems.

Similar to commit edf9556472 ("riscv: Use accessors to page table
entries instead of direct dereference").

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
