These occur when unplug is attempted for such memory which has
been mapped using memblock pages as part of early kernel page
table setup. We wouldn't have initialized the PMD or PTE fragment
count for those PMD or PTE pages.

Fixing this includes 3 parts:

- Re-walk the init_mm page tables from mem_init() and initialize
  the PMD and PTE fragment count to 1.
- When freeing PUD, PMD and PTE page table pages, check explicitly
  if they come from memblock and if so free then appropriately.
- When we do early memblock based allocation of PMD and PUD pages,
  allocate in PAGE_SIZE granularity so that we are sure the
  complete page is used as pagetable page.

Since we now do PAGE_SIZE allocations for both PUD table and
PMD table (Note that PTE table allocation is already of PAGE_SIZE),
we end up allocating more memory for the same amount of system RAM.
Here is a comparision of how much more we need for a 64T and 2G
system after this patch:

1. 64T system
-------------
64T RAM would need 64G for vmemmap with struct page size being 64B.

128 PUD tables for 64T memory (1G mappings)
1 PUD table and 64 PMD tables for 64G vmemmap (2M mappings)

With default PUD[PMD]_TABLE_SIZE(4K), (128+1+64)*4K=772K
With PAGE_SIZE(64K) table allocations, (128+1+64)*64K=12352K

2. 2G system
------------
2G RAM would need 2M for vmemmap with struct page size being 64B.

1 PUD table for 2G memory (1G mapping)
1 PUD table and 1 PMD table for 2M vmemmap (2M mappings)

With default PUD[PMD]_TABLE_SIZE(4K), (1+1+1)*4K=12K
With new PAGE_SIZE(64K) table allocations, (1+1+1)*64K=192K

Changes in v3:
- Commit message corrections and added example to show the extra
  memory usage for a small(2G) system in addition to 64T system.
- Handle freeing of memblock allocated page table pages separately
  for PUD, PMD and PTE pages. I had earlier converted the PMD and
  PTE from reserved to normal pages during fragments fixup so that
  they can be freed w/o special casing them. However that won't work
  because there are slight differences b/n these three types of pages:
  - Kernel PTE pages don't need _dtor routines to be run
  - PMD pages need _dtor routines to be run for all pages
    (Removing _ctor setup and ptlock init for kernel PMD pages
     is an optimization that can be done separately)
  - PUD pages go to kmem_cache during free
  So in anycase these 3 types need to be handled differently.
