x86/xen: Simplify set_aliased_prot() 

A year ago, via the following commit:

  aa1acff356 ("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.
