commit 0e311d237d7f3022b7dafb639b42541bfb42fe94 upstream. When the P4D page table layer is folded at runtime, the p4d_free() should do nothing, the same as in <asm-generic/pgtable-nop4d.h>. It seems this bug should cause double-free in efi_call_phys_epilog(), but I don't know how to trigger that code path, so I can't confirm that by testing.
