s390/hugepages: clear page table for sw large page emulation
The software large page emulation on s390 did not clear the the pre-allocated page table in arch_release_hugepage() before freeing it. This could trigger the WARN_ON(!pte_none(*pte) in mm/vmalloc.c:106 and make vmap_pte_range() fail, because the page table could be reused in page_table_alloc(). This is fixed now by calling clear_table() before page_table_free(). Signed-off-by: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
