Peter Zijlstra 42ef73fe13 x86, mm: fix pte_free()
On -rt we were seeing spurious bad page states like:

Bad page state in process 'firefox'
page:c1bc2380 flags:0x40000000 mapping:c1bc2390 mapcount:0 count:0
Trying to fix it up, but a reboot is needed

This is the case where a concurrent fault already installed the PTE and
we get to free the newly allocated one.

This is due to pgtable_page_ctor() doing the spin_lock_init(&page->ptl)
which is overlaid with the {private, mapping} struct.

union {
    struct {
        unsigned long private;
        struct address_space *mapping;
    };
    spinlock_t ptl;
    struct kmem_cache *slab;
    struct page *first_page;
};

Normally the spinlock is small enough to not stomp on page->mapping, but
PREEMPT_RT=y has huge 'spin'locks.

But lockdep kernels should also be able to trigger this splat, as the
lock tracking code grows the spinlock to cover page->mapping.

The obvious fix is calling pgtable_page_dtor() like the regular pte free
path __pte_free_tlb() does.

It seems all architectures except x86 and nm10300 already do this, and
nm10300 doesn't seem to use pgtable_page_ctor(), which suggests it
doesn't do SMP or simply doesnt do MMU at all or something.
