[PATCHv2] arm64:mm: free the useless initial page table

From: "zhichang.yuan" <zhichang.yuan at linaro.org>
For 64K page system, after mapping a PMD section, the corresponding initial
page table is not needed any more. That page can be freed.
Changes since v1:
* make consistent code between alloc_init_pmd and alloc_init_pud;
* flush the TLB before the unused page table is freed;
