From: Toshi Kani toshi.kani@hpe.com
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.
