Subject: [PATCH] x86/ldt: Unmap PTEs for the slot before freeing LDT pages

modify_ldt(2) leaves the old LDT mapped after switching over to the new
one. The old LDT gets freed and the pages can be re-used.

Leaving the mapping in place can have security implications. The mapping is
present in the userspace page tables and Meltdown-like attacks can read
these freed and possibly reused pages.

It's relatively simple to fix: unmap the old LDT and flush TLB before
freeing the old LDT memory.

This further allows to avoid flushing the TLB in map_ldt_struct() as the
slot is unmapped and flushed by unmap_ldt_struct() or has never been mapped
at all.

Leaving the mapping in place can have security implications. The mapping is
