[PATCH v2 05/12] powerpc: add pte_free_defer() for pgtables sharing page

[Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>]

Add powerpc-specific pte_free_defer(), to call pte_free() via call_rcu().
pte_free_defer() will be called inside khugepaged's retract_page_tables()
loop, where allocating extra memory cannot be relied upon.  This precedes
the generic version to avoid build breakage from incompatible pgtable_t.

This is awkward because the struct page contains only one rcu_head, but
that page may be shared between PTE_FRAG_NR pagetables, each wanting to
use the rcu_head at the same time: account concurrent deferrals with a
heightened refcount, only the first making use of the rcu_head, but
re-deferring if more deferrals arrived during its grace period.
