[PATCH 17/20] mm: Export follow_pte()

From: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
Date: 2016-09-27 16:08:21
Also in: linux-fsdevel, nvdimm
Subsystem: memory management, memory management - core, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, David Hildenbrand, Linus Torvalds

DAX will need to implement its own version of page_check_address(). To
avoid duplicating page table walking code, export follow_pte() which
does what we need.
