x86/mm: use 'ptdesc' when freeing PMD pages
commit 412d000 upstream.
There are a billion ways to refer to a physical memory address. One of
the x86 PMD freeing code location chooses to use a 'pte_t *' to point to a
PMD page and then call a PTE-specific freeing function for it. That's a
bit wonky.
Just use a 'struct ptdesc *' instead. Its entire purpose is to refer to
page table pages. It also means being able to remove an explicit cast.
Right now, pte_free_kernel() is a one-liner that calls
pagetable_dtor_free(). Effectively, all this patch does is remove one
superfluous __pa(__va(paddr)) conversion and then call
pagetable_dtor_free() directly instead of through a helper.
