This patch ("mm/vmalloc: Add interfaces to free unmapped
page table") adds following 2 interfaces to free the page
table in case we implement huge mapping.

pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page()

Some architectures (like arm64) needs to do proper TLB
maintanance after updating pagetable entry even in map.
Why ? Read this,
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10134581/

Pass 'addr' in these interfaces so that proper TLB ops
can be performed.

Please update the function header as well.  Same for pmd.

Please base your patches on top of the mm tree or at least pick up
8cab93de994f6 in the mm tree.  Andrew fixed the typo; the 'pud_t' above
should have been 'pmd_t'.

Thanks,
