x86, mm: Add check before clear pte above max_low_pfn on 32bit
During test patch that adjust page_size_mask to map small range ram with big page size, found page table is setup wrongly for 32bit. And native_pagetable_init wrong clear pte for pmd with large page support. 1. add more comments about why we are expecting pte. 2. add BUG checking, so next time we could find problem earlier when we mess up page table setup again. 3. max_low_pfn is not included boundary for low memory mapping. We should check from max_low_pfn instead of +1. 4. add print out when some pte really get cleared, or we should use WARN() to find out why above max_low_pfn get mapped? so we could fix it.
