Ryan Roberts 6c1d2a073a mm: move ptep_get() and pmdp_get() helpers
There are many call sites that directly dereference a pte_t pointer.  This
makes it very difficult to properly encapsulate a page table in the arch
code without having to allocate shadow page tables.

We will shortly solve this by replacing all the call sites with ptep_get()
calls.  But there are call sites above the function definition in the
header file, so let's move ptep_get() to an earlier location to solve that
problem.  And move pmdp_get() at the same time to keep it close to
ptep_get().

README

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 Restructured Text 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.
