ptdesc_pmd_pts_init() initialises the pt_share_count ptdesc field.
That field is only used for hugetlb tracking purposes, so there is
no need to initialise it for kernel page tables. Skip the call for
kernel page tables, like pmd_ptlock_init().
From now on pagetable_*_ctor() and pagetable_dtor() do nothing for
kernel page tables.
