Four architectures currently implement 5-level pgtables: arm64,
riscv, x86 and s390. The first three have essentially the same
implementation for p4d_alloc_one() and p4d_free(), so we've got an
opportunity to reduce duplication like at the lower levels.

Provide a generic version of p4d_alloc_one() and p4d_free(), and
make use of it on those architectures.

Their implementation is the same as at PUD level, except that
p4d_free() performs a runtime check by calling mm_p4d_folded().
5-level pgtables depend on a runtime-detected hardware feature on
all supported architectures, so we might as well include this check
in the generic implementation. No runtime check is required in
p4d_alloc_one() as the top-level p4d_alloc() already does the
required check.
