x86: fix PAE pmd_bad bootup warning

Fix warning from pmd_bad() at bootup on a HIGHMEM64G HIGHPTE x86_32.

That came from 9fc34113f6880b215cbea4e7017fc818700384c2 x86: debug pmd_bad();
but we understand now that the typecasting was wrong for PAE in the previous
version: pagetable pages above 4GB looked bad and stopped Arjan from booting.

And revert that cded932b75ab0a5f9181ee3da34a0a488d1a14fd x86: fix pmd_bad
and pud_bad to support huge pages.  It was the wrong way round: we shouldn't
weaken every pmd_bad and pud_bad check to let huge pages slip through - in
part they check that we _don't_ have a huge page where it's not expected.

Put the x86 pmd_bad() and pud_bad() definitions back to what they have long
been: they can be improved (x86_32 should use PTE_MASK, to stop PAE thinking
junk in the upper word is good; and x86_64 should follow x86_32's stricter
comparison, to stop thinking any subset of required bits is good); but that
should be a later patch.

Fix Hans' good observation that follow_page() will never find pmd_huge()
because that would have already failed the pmd_bad test: test pmd_huge in
between the pmd_none and pmd_bad tests.  Tighten x86's pmd_huge() check?
No, once it's a hugepage entry, it can get quite far from a good pmd: for
example, PROT_NONE leaves it with only ACCESSED of the KERN_PGTABLE bits.

However... though follow_page() contains this and another test for huge
pages, so it's nice to keep it working on them, where does it actually get
called on a huge page?  get_user_pages() checks is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma) to
to call alternative hugetlb processing, as does unmap_vmas() and others.
