x86: cpa, fix lookup_address

lookup_address() returns a wrong level and a wrong pointer to a non existing pte, when pmd or pud entries are marked !present. This happens for example due to boot time mapping of GART into the low memory space. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]>
