Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm/hotplug: fix BUG_ON() after hotremove by not freeing pud v3

From: Jérôme Glisse <jglisse@...hat.com>

With commit af2cf278ef4f we no longer free pud so that we do not
have synchronize all pgd on hotremove/vfree. But the new 5 level
page table patchset reverted that for 4 level page table.

This patch restore af2cf278ef4f and disable free_pud() if we are
in the 4 level page table case thus avoiding BUG_ON() after hot-
remove.

af2cf278ef4f x86/mm/hotplug: Don't remove PGD entries in remove_pagetable()

Changed since v2:
  - nove to if the callsite instead of having special version of
    free_pud for 4 level page table
Changed since v1:
  - make free_pud() conditional on the number of page table
    level
  - improved commit message
