Currently, lookup_address() returns two things:
1. A "pte_t" (which might be a p[g4um]d_t)
2. The 'level' of the page tables where the "pte_t" was found
(returned via a pointer)
If no pte_t is found, 'level' is essentially garbage.
Always fill out the level. For NULL "pte_t"s, fill in the level where
the p*d_none() entry was found mirroring the "found" behavior.
Always filling out the level allows using lookup_address() to precisely
skip over holes when walking kernel page tables.
Add one more entry into enum pg_level to indicate the size of the VA
covered by one PGD entry in 5-level paging mode.
Update comments for lookup_address() and lookup_address_in_pgd() to
reflect changes in the interface.
