[PATCH v2 0/6] Account page tables at all levels

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20241219164425.2277022-1-kevin.brodsky@arm.com/

This series should be considered in conjunction with Qi's series [1].
Together, they ensure that page table ctor/dtor are called at all levels
(PTE to PGD) and all architectures, where page tables are regular pages.
Besides the improvement in accounting and general cleanup, this also
create a single place where construction/destruction hooks can be called
for all page tables, namely the now-generic pagetable_dtor() introduced
by Qi, and __pagetable_ctor() introduced in this series.

v2 is essentially v1 rebased on top of mm-unstable, which includes Qi's
v4 series. A number of patches from v1 were dropped:

* v1 patch 4 is superseded by patch 6 in Qi's series.
* v1 patch 5 and 6 moved to Qi's series from v3 onwards.
* v1 patch 7 is superseded by patch 4 in Qi's series.

Changes from v1 in the remaining patches:

* Patch 1 only introduces __pagetable_ctor() as there is now a single
  generic pagetable_dtor(). 

* Patch 3 and 6: in arch/m68k/mm/motorola.c, free_pointer_table() can
  now unconditionally call pagetable_dtor() since it is the same for all
  levels.

* Patch 6 just uses pagetable_dtor() instead of introducing
  pagetable_pgd_dtor().

* Added Dave Hansen's Acked-by to all patches.

- Kevin
