s390 uses page->index to keep track of page tables for the guest address

replace _pt_pad_2 with _pt_s390_gaddr to replace page->index in gmap.
This will help with the splitting of struct ptdesc from struct page, as
well as allow s390 to use _pt_frag_refcount for fragmented page table
tracking.
Since page->_pt_s390_gaddr aliases with mapping, ensure its set to NULL
before freeing the pages as well.
Wouldn't it be easier to use _pt_pad_1 which is aliased with lru and that
does not seem to be used by page tables at all?
I initially thought the same, but s390 page tables use lru.
