Subject: x86/mm: implement free pmd/pte page interfaces
From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@xxxxxxx>
commit 28ee90fe6048fa7b7ceaeb8831c0e4e454a4cf89 upstream.
Implement pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page() on x86, which
clear a given pud/pmd entry and free up lower level page table(s).
The address range associated with the pud/pmd entry must have been
purged by INVLPG.
