[PATCH v2 06/15] arm: pgtable: move pagetable_dtor() to __tlb_remove_table()

Move pagetable_dtor() to __tlb_remove_table(), so that ptlock and page
table pages can be freed together (regardless of whether RCU is used).
This prevents the use-after-free problem where the ptlock is freed
immediately but the page table pages is freed later via RCU.

Page tables shouldn't have swap cache, so use pagetable_free() instead of
free_page_and_swap_cache() to free page table pages.
