arm64: mm: avoid redundant READ_ONCE(*ptep)

In set_pte_at(), we read the old pte value so that it can be passed into
checks for racy hw updates. These checks are only performed for
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, and the value is not used otherwise.

Since we read the pte value with READ_ONCE(), the compiler cannot elide
the redundant read for !CONFIG_DEBUG_VM kernels.

Let's ameliorate matters by moving the read and the checks into a
helper, __check_racy_pte_update(), which only performs the read when the
value will be used. This also allows us to reformat the conditions for
clarity.
