[PATCH v2 4/4] arm64/mm: fix destructor for unconstructed hotplug page tables

[Muchun Song]

Commit c594b83457cc ("arm64: mm: call pagetable dtor when freeing
hot-removed page tables") made free_hotplug_pgtable_page()
unconditionally run the page-table destructor. This matches page tables
allocated by the arm64 mapping code, which runs the corresponding
constructors.

However, arm64 also uses the generic sparse-vmemmap population code.
Runtime intermediate page tables allocated by that code do not run a
page-table constructor. Freeing one during memory hot-remove therefore
runs a destructor without a matching constructor and corrupts
NR_PAGETABLE accounting.

Free intermediate page-table pages through pagetable_free(). It runs the
destructor only for constructor-backed pages and then releases the page
through the page-table freeing path.
