x86/xen: Simplify set_aliased_prot()
A year ago, via the following commit:
aa1acff356bb ("x86/xen: Probe target addresses in set_aliased_prot() before
the hypercall")
I added an explicit probe to work around a hypercall issue. The code can
be simplified by using probe_kernel_read().
No change in functionality.
