[PATCH v3 0/4] mm: Fix page-table teardown during memory hot-remove

[Muchun Song]

Memory hot-remove can free page-table pages allocated through paths with
different constructor state. Some paths run the page-table constructor,
while generic sparse-vmemmap population may not. The x86, RISC-V, and
arm64 teardown paths did not handle that distinction consistently,
leaving constructor/destructor accounting unbalanced.

Make pagetable_free() handle any remaining constructor state before
freeing a page-table page. Callers that already ran pagetable_dtor()
have cleared that state, so the destructor is not run twice. The RISC-V
and arm64 fixes then use this common helper for their memory-hot-remove
paths.

The architecture fixes depend on the common MM change in patch 1, so
this remains a single series. I expect it to go through the MM tree,
with review or acks from the relevant architecture maintainers.

v3:
- Explain why pagetable_free() does not run the destructor twice.
- Add the x86 stable prerequisites noted by Jose A. Perez de Azpillaga.
- Collect Acked-by and Reviewed-by tags from reviewers.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/20261010112457.49485-1-songmuchun@bytedance.com/
- Move the destructor decision from x86 into pagetable_free(), as
  suggested by David Hildenbrand.
- Use pagetable_free() for non-reserved RISC-V page-table pages and
  simplify reserved-page handling.
- Collect David Hildenbrand's Acked-by on the RISC-V PUD fix.
- Use pagetable_free() for arm64 intermediate page-table pages, as
  suggested by David Hildenbrand.
- Trim and update the commit messages, as requested by Dave Hansen.
