[PATCH RFC v2 17/20] mm/pgtable: disallow calling (pgd|p4d|pud)_page, pgd_page_vaddr() and (p4d|pud)_pgtable with dummy

From: "David Hildenbrand (Arm)" <david at kernel.org>
These helpers that silently fallback to the folded level
are dangerous, especially with some upcoming changes.
Make all code compile-out any calls to these helpers with dummy value.
So let's make the compiler complain if these helpers are abused with dummy pXdp value.
