Patch series "remove tlb_remove_page_ptdesc()", v2.

As suggested by Peter Zijlstra below [1], this series aims to remove
tlb_remove_page_ptdesc().

: Fundamentally tlb_remove_page() is about removing *pages* as from a PTE,
: there should not be a page-table anywhere near here *ever*.
:
: Yes, some architectures use tlb_remove_page() for page-tables too, but
: that is more or less an implementation detail that can be fixed.

After this series, all architectures use tlb_remove_table() or
tlb_remove_ptdesc() to remove the page table pages.  In the future, once
all architectures using tlb_remove_table() have also converted to using
struct ptdesc (eg.  powerpc), it may be possible to use only
tlb_remove_ptdesc().

This patch (of 6):

Now only arm will call tlb_remove_ptdesc()/tlb_remove_table() when
CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE is disabled.  In this case, the type of the
table parameter is actually struct ptdesc * instead of struct page *.

Since struct ptdesc still overlaps with struct page and has not been
separated from it, forcing the table parameter to struct page * will not
cause any problems at this time.  But this is definitely incorrect and
needs to be fixed.  So just like the generic __tlb_remove_table(), let
generic tlb_remove_table() use struct ptdesc by default when
CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE is disabled.
