[PATCH v2] asm-generic: fix variable 'p4d' set but not used

[Qian Cai]

A compiler throws a warning on an arm64 system since the
commit 9849a5697d3d ("arch, mm: convert all architectures to use
5level-fixup.h"),

mm/kasan/init.c: In function 'kasan_free_p4d':
mm/kasan/init.c:344:9: warning: variable 'p4d' set but not used
[-Wunused-but-set-variable]
 p4d_t *p4d;
        ^~~

because p4d_none() in "5level-fixup.h" is compiled away while it is a
static inline function in "pgtable-nopud.h". However, if converted
p4d_none() to a static inline there, powerpc would be unhappy as it
reads those in assembler language in
"arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h", so it needs to skip
assembly include for the static inline C function. While at it,
converted a few similar functions to be consistent with the ones in
"pgtable-nopud.h".
