Wouldn't it be clearer if you returned 'bool' instead of 'int' here?

Also you didn't document the pud parameter, nor use the approved form
for documenting the return type, nor the calling context.  So I would
have written it out like this:

/**
 * pud_free_pmd_page - Clear pud entry and free pmd page.
 * @pud: Pointer to a PUD.
 *
 * Context: Caller should hold mmap_sem write-locked.
 * Return: %true if clearing the entry succeeded.
