arm64/mm: Simplify and document pte_to_phys() for 52 bit addresses
pte_to_phys() assembly definition does multiple bits field transformations to derive physical address, embedded inside a page table entry. Unlike its C counter part i.e __pte_to_phys(), pte_to_phys() is not very apparent. It simplifies these operations via a new macro PTE_ADDR_HIGH_SHIFT indicating how far the pte encoded higher address bits need to be left shifted. While here, this also updates __pte_to_phys() and __phys_to_pte_val().
