[PATCH v1 3/4] arm64: Fix the page leak in pud/pmd_set_huge

While setting huge page, we need to take care of
previously existing next level mapping. Since,
we are going to overrite previous mapping, the
only reference to next level page table will get
lost and the next level page table will be zombie,
occupying space forever. So, free it before
overriding.
