x86: strengthen 64-bit p?d_bad()

The x86_64 pgd_bad(), pud_bad(), pmd_bad() inlines have differed from
their x86_32 counterparts in a couple of ways: they've been unnecessarily
weak (e.g. letting 0 or 1 count as good), and were typed as unsigned long.
Strengthen them and return int.

The PAE pmd_bad was too weak before, allowing any junk in the upper half;
but got strengthened by the patch correcting its ~PAGE_MASK to ~PTE_MASK.
The PAE pud_bad already said ~PTE_MASK; and since it folds into pgd_bad,
and we don't set the protection bits at that level, it'll do as is.
