Move ptep_clear() to the include/linux/pgtable.h and add page table check
relate hooks to some helpers, it's prepare for support page table check
feature on new architecture.

Optimize the implementation of ptep_clear(), page table hooks added page
table check stubs, the interface control should be at stubs, there is no
rationale for doing a IS_ENABLED() check here.

For architectures that do not enable CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK, they will
call a fallback page table check stubs[1] when getting their page table
helpers[2] in include/linux/pgtable.h.

[1] page table check stubs defined in include/linux/page_table_check.h
[2] ptep_clear() ptep_get_and_clear()  pmdp_huge_get_and_clear()
pudp_huge_get_and_clear()

History
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.
