I'm not sure this is OK.
Think of a hugetlbfs mapping with shared page tables. Say you had a
1GB-sized and 1GB-aligned mapping. It might zap the one PUD that it
needs, set tlb->cleared_puds=1 but it never sets ->freed_tables because
it didn't actually free the shared page table page.
I'd honestly just throw this patch out of the series for now. All of the
other TLB invalidation that the kernel does implicitly toss out the
mid-level paging structure caches.
