Or we can just drop the pud_mknotpresent(). There's no users AFAICS and
only x86 provides it.

Yes that will be an option but IMHO fixing pud_present() here might be
a better choice because,
(1) pud_mknotpresent() with fixed pud_present() might be required later
It might. Or it might not. Let's wait until it's actually used, and see.
Dead code is an avoidable expense (adds size, space on the screen, email
traffic and other wasted time), so let's avoid it here.
(2) PMD & PUD will be exact same (THP is supported on either level)
Nonetheless, I am happy to go either way.
