[RFC V3 3/8] loongarch/mm: Stop using pte_ERROR()

Directly use pr_err() in __set_fixmap() and drop pte_ERROR() which helps in
eventually dropping pte_ERROR() macro across the tree. In this new printing
__FILE__ and __LINE__ has been dropped because they are always the same and
don't really add any value. The new ptval_to_str() helper is being used for
converting pgtable entry value into a string. The error message itself has
been cleaned up as well.
