Subject: [PATCH v1 1/3] KVM: arm64: Consistently use free_removed_table() for stage-2

From: Oliver Upton <oliver.upton@...ux.dev>

free_removed_table() is essential to the RCU-protected parallel walking
scheme, as behind the scenes the cleanup is deferred until an RCU grace
period. Nonetheless, the stage-2 unmap path calls put_page() directly,
which leads to table memory being freed inline with the table walk.

This is safe for the time being, as the stage-2 unmap walker is called
while holding the write lock. A future change to KVM will further relax
the locking mechanics around the stage-2 page tables to allow lock-free
walkers protected only by RCU. As such, switch to the RCU-safe mechanism
for freeing table memory.
