Remove pgd_offset_gate() completely and simply make the single
caller use pgd_offset().

It appears that the gate area resides in the kernel-mapped segment
exclusively on IA64. Therefore, removing pgd_offset_k is safe since
IA64 is now obsolete.

You missed including the tags from v2 when sending v3.
These tags were already present in v2 and should have been carried over
