x86: define PTE_MASK in a universally useful way

Define PTE_MASK so that it contains a meaningful value for all x86
pagetable configurations.  Previously it was defined as a "long" which
means that it was too short to cover a 32-bit PAE pte entry.

It is now defined as a pteval_t, which is an integer type long enough
to contain a full pte (or pmd, pud, pgd).

This fixes an Xorg crash on 32-bit x86 with PAE due to corruption of the
NX bit in mprotect due to the incorrect type/value of PTE_MASK reported
by Hugh Dickins:

  "Yes, thanks Jeremy: I've checked that each stage builds and runs X on
   my boxes here, x86_32 and x86_32+PAE and x86_64.  (So even 1/8 is
   enough to fix the PAT pte_modify issue, though 2/8 then fixes
   compiler warnings.)"
