Mikhail Zaslonko 54519b4465 zipl: Update page_is_valid() function to avoid tprot usage
Old implementation was using Test Protection (TPROT) instruction to
validate the memory page. Given that it is a rather slow instruction and
the fact that we only need to validate the read-access for a page, we can
use simple Load or Insert Character instruction to test that.
The new version of page_is_valid() without a TPROT is introduced.
