What's this VM_WARN_ON supposed to do here? If the pmd is 0, we trigger
it all the time. Did you actually mean something like:

		VM_WARN_ON(!pmd_none(pmd));

or pmd_present(pmd)?

Since the comment mentions empty entry, I'd rather make it explicit:

	if (pmd_none(pmd) || !pmd_table(pmd))
		VM_WARN_ON(!pmd_none(pmd));
		return 1;
	}
Ignore this, fixed in -rc4 (fac880c7d074 "arm64: fix erroneous warnings
in page freeing functions").
