[PATCH 17/22] ARM: mmu32: rework find_pte to have ARM64 find_pte semantics

ARM32 find_pte can only look up a page and returns NULL when
encountering a section. The ARM64 find_pte, on the other hand, returns
the PTE at any level and stores the found level into a pointer supplied
by the caller.

Let's have the ARM32 version behave as the ARM64 version does to allow
reuse of code between them and to simplify maintenance.
