Switch from per mm_struct to per pmd page table lock by enabling ARCH_ENABLE_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCK. This provides better granularity for large system. I'm not sure if there is contention on mm->page_table_lock. Given the option comes at no cost (apart from initializing more spin locks), why not enable it now.

I'm a bit worried as to how this interacts with the page-table code in arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c when pgd_pgtable_alloc is used as the allocator. It looks like that currently always calls pgtable_page_ctor(), regardless of level. Do we now need a separate allocator function for the PMD level?
