Subject: [PATCH 2/7] mm: introduce pte_install() helper

Currently we have three times the same few lines repeated in the
code. Deduplicate them by newly introduced pte_install() helper.

I don't like the name of the helper: we have confusion of PTE being
PTE-entry or PTE page table. And pte_install() doing pmd_populate()
doesn't help the situation.

Maybe pmd_install()? Or pte_table_install()? I donno.

Look good to me, I will use pmd_install().
