[RFC PATCH 04/18] ARM: LPAE: Do not assume Linux PTEs are always at PTRS_PER_PTE offset

Placing the Linux PTEs at a 2KB offset inside a page is a workaround for
the 2-level page table format where not enough spare bits are available.
With LPAE this is no longer required. This patch changes such assumption
by using a different macro, LINUX_PTE_OFFSET, which is defined to
PTRS_PER_PTE for the 2-level page tables.
