In order to implement fast_get_user_pages we need to ensure that the
page table walker is protected from page table pages being freed from
under it.
This patch enables HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE, any page table pages belonging
to address spaces with multiple users will be call_rcu_sched freed.
Meaning that disabling interrupts will block the free and protect the
fast gup page walker.
