READ_ONCE() cannot be used for reading PTEs. Use ptep_get()
instead. See commit 481e980a7c19 ("mm: Allow arches to provide ptep_get()")
and commit c0e1c8c22beb ("powerpc/8xx: Provide ptep_get() with 16k pages")
for details.

It was cargo-culted from the arm64/x86 implementations (where this 
happens to be safe).
