x86: Introduce function to get pmd entry pointer
Introduces lookup_pmd_address() to get the address of the pmd entry related to a virtual address in the current address space. This function is needed for support of a virtual mapped sparse p2m list in xen pv domains, as we need the address of the pmd entry, not the one of the pte in that case.
