[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 4/7] mm: Introduce verify_page_range()

Introduce and EXPORT a read-only counterpart to apply_to_page_range().

It only exposes the PTE value, not a pointer to the pagetables itself
and is thus quite a bit safer to export. A number of
apply_to_page_range() users can be converted to this primitive.
