Patch removes redundant checks for PTE (Page Table Entry) because those
conditions are already covered.
        if (!(pte & _PAGE_PRESENT)) {
                ...
                return FALSE;
        }
        if (!pte)
                return FALSE;
The second pte check is redundant because it holds true only when pte is
0. if pte is 0 then (!(pte & _PAGE_PRESENT)) is true and it will return
false. so there is no need for one more pte check.
