x86/mm: Fix leak of pmd ptlock
Commit 28ee90fe6048 ("x86/mm: implement free pmd/pte page interfaces") introduced a new location where a pmd was released, but neglected to run the pmd page destructor. In fact, this happened previously for a different pmd release path and was fixed by commit: c283610e44ec ("x86, mm: do not leak page->ptl for pmd page tables"). This issue was hidden until recently because the failure mode is silent, but commit: b2b29d6d0119 ("mm: account PMD tables like PTE tables") turns the failure mode into this signature: BUG: Bad page state in process lt-pmem-ns pfn:15943d page:000000007262ed7b refcount:0 mapcount:-1024 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 pfn:0x15943d flags: 0xaffff800000000() raw: 00affff800000000 dead000000000100 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 raw: 0000000000000000 ffff913a029bcc08 00000000fffffbff 0000000000000000 page dumped because: nonzero mapcount [..] dump_stack+0x8b/0xb0 bad_page.cold+0x63/0x94 free_pcp_prepare+0x224/0x270 free_unref_page+0x18/0xd0 pud_free_pmd_page+0x146/0x160 ioremap_pud_range+0xe3/0x350 ioremap_page_range+0x108/0x160 __ioremap_caller.constprop.0+0x174/0x2b0 ? memremap+0x7a/0x110 memremap+0x7a/0x110 devm_memremap+0x53/0xa0 pmem_attach_disk+0x4ed/0x530 [nd_pmem] ? __devm_release_region+0x52/0x80 nvdimm_bus_probe+0x85/0x210 [libnvdimm] Given this is a repeat occurrence it seemed prudent to look for other places where this destructor might be missing and whether a better helper is needed. try_to_free_pmd_page() looks like a candidate, but testing with setting up and tearing down pmd mappings via the dax unit tests is thus far not triggering the failure. As for a better helper pmd_free() is close, but it is a messy fit due to requiring an @mm arg. Also, ___pmd_free_tlb() wants to call paravirt_tlb_remove_table() instead of free_page(), so open-coded pgtable_pmd_page_dtor() seems the best way forward for now.
