Hi Alistair,

Now that DAX and all other reference counts to ZONE_DEVICE pages are
managed normally there is no need for the special devmap PTE/PMD/PUD
page table bits. So drop all references to these, freeing up a
software defined page table bit on architectures supporting it.

RISC-V's references also need to be cleanup, it simply can be done by
reverting the commit
