    introduced a new location where a pmd was released, but neglected to
    run the pmd page destructor. In fact, this happened previously for a
    different pmd release path and was fixed by commit:
    
      c283610e ("x86, mm: do not leak page->ptl for pmd page tables").
    
    This issue was hidden until recently because the failure mode is silent,
    but commit:
    
      b2b29d6d ("mm: account PMD tables like PTE tables")
    
    turns the failure mode into this signature:

    Given this is a repeat occurrence it seemed prudent to look for other
    places where this destructor might be missing and whether a better
    helper is needed. try_to_free_pmd_page() looks like a candidate, but
    testing with setting up and tearing down pmd mappings via the dax unit
    tests is thus far not triggering the failure.
    
    As for a better helper pmd_free() is close, but it is a messy fit
    due to requiring an @mm arg. Also, ___pmd_free_tlb() wants to call
    paravirt_tlb_remove_table() instead of free_page(), so open-coded
    pgtable_pmd_page_dtor() seems the best way forward for now.
    
    Debugged together with Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>.
