Subject: [PATCH] x86, mm: do not leak page->ptl for pmd page tables

There are two code paths how page with pmd page table can be freed:
pmd_free() and pmd_free_tlb().

I've missed the second one and didn't add page table destructor call
there. It leads to leak of page->ptl for pmd page tables, if dynamically
allocated page->ptl is in use.

The patch adds the missed destructor and modifies documentation
accordingly.

 PMD split lock enabling requires pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() call on PMD table
 allocation and pgtable_pmd_page_dtor() on freeing.
 
-Allocation usually happens in pmd_alloc_one(), freeing in pmd_free(), but
-make sure you cover all PMD table allocation / freeing paths: i.e X86_PAE
-preallocate few PMDs on pgd_alloc().

 With everything in place you can set CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCK.
