[PATCH 04/12] kho: add callback for table pages

From: "Pratyush Yadav (Google)" <pratyush at kernel.org>

The KHO memory preservation radix tree does not mark the table pages
themselves as scratch. This is done to avoid a circular dependency where
preserving a page can lead of allocating other preserved pages. This
means any walker looking for free ranges of memory outside of scratch
areas will ignore the table

Add a table callback that is invoked for each table page. The callback
is given the physical address of the table page.
