Now, if CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE is selected, the page table pages
will be freed by semi RCU, that is:
- batch table freeing: asynchronous free by RCU
- single table freeing: IPI + synchronous free
In this way, the page table can be lockless traversed by disabling IRQ in
paths such as fast GUP. But this is not enough to free the empty PTE page
table pages in paths other that munmap and exit_mmap path, because IPI
cannot be synchronized with rcu_read_lock() in pte_offset_map{_lock}().
In preparation for supporting empty PTE page table pages reclaimation,
let single table also be freed by RCU like batch table freeing. Then we
can also use pte_offset_map() etc to prevent PTE page from being freed.
Like pte_free_defer(), we can also safely use ptdesc->pt_rcu_head to free
the page table pages:
- The pt_rcu_head is unioned with pt_list and pmd_huge_pte.
- For pt_list, it is used to manage the PGD page in x86. Fortunately
tlb_remove_table() will not be used for free PGD pages, so it is safe
to use pt_rcu_head.
- For pmd_huge_pte, we will do zap_deposited_table() before freeing the
PMD page, so it is also safe.
