When we using iounmap() to free the 4K mapping, it just clear the PTEs
but leave P4D/PUD/PMD unchanged, also will not free the memory of page
tables.
This will cause issues on ARM64 platform (not sure if other archs have
the same issue) for this case:
1. ioremap a 4K size, valid page table will build,
2. iounmap it, pte0 will set to 0;
3. ioremap the same address with 2M size, pgd/pmd is unchanged,
then set the a new value for pmd;
4. pte0 is leaked;
5. CPU may meet exception because the old pmd is still in TLB,
which will lead to kernel panic.
Fix it by skip setting up the huge I/O mappings when p4d/pud/pmd is
zero.
One obvious problem I see here is, once any 2nd level entry has 3rd
level mapping, this entry can't map 2M section ever in future. This way,
we will fragment entire virtual space over time.
The code you are changing is common between 32-bit systems as well (I
think). And running out of section mapping would be a reality in
practical terms.
So, if we can do the following as a fix up, we would be saved.
1) Invalidate 2nd level entry from TLB, and
2) Free the page which holds last level page table
BTW, is there any further discussion going on this topic which I am
missing ?

Not sure if this is the right direction, this patch has a obvious
side effect that a mapped address with 4K will not back to 2M. I may
miss something and just wrong, so this is just a RFC version, comments
are welcomed.
