Subject: mm/debug_vm_pgtable: remove pte entry from the page table

Patch series "page table check fixes and cleanups", v5.


This patch (of 4):

The pte entry that is used in pte_advanced_tests() is never removed from
the page table at the end of the test.

The issue is detected by page_table_check, to repro compile kernel with
the following configs:

CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE=y
CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK=y
CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_CHECK_ENFORCED=y

During the boot the following BUG is printed:

[    2.262821] debug_vm_pgtable: [debug_vm_pgtable         ]: Validating
               architecture page table helpers

               04/01/2014
...

The entry should be properly removed from the page table before the page
is released to the free list.
