x86/pvops: remove pte_flags pvop

pte_flags() was introduced as a new pvop in order to extract just the
flags portion of a pte, which is a potentially cheaper operation than
extracting the page number as well.  It turns out this operation is
not needed, because simply using a mask to extract the flags from a
pte is sufficient for all current users.
