Subject: x86/ldt: Make LDT pgtable free conditional

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

commit 7f414195b0c3612acd12b4611a5fe75995cf10c7 upstream.

Andy prefers to be paranoid about the pagetable free in the error path of
write_ldt(). Make it conditional and warn whenever the installment of a
secondary LDT fails.
