Hmm, doesn't this have a funny interaction with PROT_NONE where the pmd is
invalid but present? If you don't care about PROT_NONE, then you could just
do:

  pmd_valid(pmd) && !pmd_table(pmd) && (pmd_user(pmd) || pmd_user_exec(pmd))

but if you do care then you could do:

  pmd_leaf(pmd) && !pmd_present_invalid(pmd) && (pmd_user(pmd) || pmd_user_exec(pmd))

Not caused by this patch, but why don't we have something like a
pud_user_exec() check here like we do for the pte and pmd levels?
