[Patch v2] x86/head/64: remove redundant check on level2_kernel_pgt's _PAGE_PRESENT bit

[Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@gmail.com>]

This patch tries to remove a redundant check on kernel code's PMD
_PAGE_PRESENT attribute before fix up.

Current process looks like this:

    pmd in [0, _text)
        unset _PAGE_PRESENT
    pmd in [_text, _end]
        if (_PAGE_PRESENT)
            fix up delta
    pmd in (_end, 512)
        unset _PAGE_PRESENT

Since we have compiled in _PAGE_PRESENT in this page table, it is not
necessary to check _PAGE_PRESENT again before fixing up delta
