[PATCH] arm64: add a function to show the different types of pagetable

The patch is mainly to show  pagetable number of different level in the direct
mapping. pagetable is created from pud to pte in arm64 , resulting in different
resluts with x86. For instance, The kernel of two-level pages will produce three
types of pagetable.

It can also be used to detect whether there is a large page spliting and merging.
Large page will significantly reduce the TLB miss, and improve the system
performance.
