Subject: [PATCH 5/5] mm: sparsemem: use page table lock to protect kernel pmd operations

The init_mm.page_table_lock is used to protect kernel page tables, we
can use it to serialize splitting vmemmap PMD mappings instead of mmap
write lock, which can increase the concurrency of vmemmap_remap_free().
