    x86/PV: use get_unsafe() instead of copy_from_unsafe()
    
    The former expands to a single (memory accessing) insn, which the latter
    does not guarantee (the __builtin_constant_p() based switch() statement
    there is just an optimization). Yet we'd prefer to read consistent PTEs
    rather than risking a split read racing with an update done elsewhere.
