Subject: [109/262] [S390] memory leak with RCU_TABLE_FREE

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@...ibm.com>

commit e73b7fffe487c315fd1a4fa22282e3362b440a06 upstream.

The rcu page table free code uses a couple of bits in the page table
pointer passed to tlb_remove_table to discern the different page table
types. __tlb_remove_table extracts the type with an incorrect mask which
leads to memory leaks. The correct mask is ((FRAG_MASK << 4) | FRAG_MASK).
