For kernel PTE page, we do not need to allocate and initialize its split
ptlock, but as a page table page, it's still necessary to add PG_table
flag and NR_PAGETABLE statistics for it.

This should also update the architectures that define
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_ALLOC_ONE_KERNEL, otherwise NR_PAGETABLE counts will get
wrong.

Yes, this patchset only focuses on the generic implementation. For those
architectures that define __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_ALLOC_ONE_KERNEL, some reuse
the generic __pte_alloc_one_kernel(), but some have their own customized
implementations, which indeed need to be fixed.

I wasn't familiar with those architectures and didn't investigate why
they couldn't reuse the generic __pte_alloc_one_kernel(), so I didn't
fix them. It would be better if there are maintainers corresponding to
the architecture who can help fix it. After all, they have a better
understanding of the historical background and have a testing
environment. ;)


Another related thing is that many architectures have custom allocations
for early page tables and these would also benefit form NR_PAGETABLE
accounting.

Indeed, this is also a point that can be optimized.

Thanks.
