[PATCH V2 0/2] arm64/mm: Standardize printing for pgtable entries

Standardize printing for pgtable entries using recently introduced generic
helper ptval_bytes_to_hex_str() in core MM which automatically enables 128
bits entries when added later.

But first move __check_safe_pte_update() outside <asm/pgtable.h> to avoid
a cyclic dependency while accessing these afore mentioned core MM helpers
defined in <linux/pgtable.h>. This replaces the original page table entry
print standardisation proposal which was part of the D128 series.

This series applies on v7.3-rc2 but after the following.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20260831054331.625505-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/

Changes in V2:

- Moved __check_safe_pte_update() inside #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_VM
- Added empty stub for __check_safe_pte_update() when !CONFIG_DEBUG_VM
- Dropped IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_VM) from __check_safe_pte_update()
- Replaced pgtable level specific strings with pxd_str[] in show_pte()
