[PATCH v2 3/4] powerpc/mm/radix: Remove split_kernel_mapping()

[Aneesh Kumar K.V]

From: Bharata B Rao <bharata at linux.ibm.com>

We split the page table mapping on memory unplug if the
linear range was mapped with huge page mapping (for ex: 1G)
The page table splitting code has a few issues:

1. Recursive locking
--------------------
Memory unplug path takes cpu_hotplug_lock and calls stop_machine()
for splitting the mappings. However stop_machine() takes
cpu_hotplug_lock again causing deadlock.

2. BUG: sleeping function called from in_atomic() context
---------------------------------------------------------
Memory unplug path (remove_pagetable) takes init_mm.page_table_lock
spinlock and later calls stop_machine() which does wait_for_completion()

3. Bad unlock unbalance
-----------------------
Memory unplug path takes init_mm.page_table_lock spinlock and calls
stop_machine(). The stop_machine thread function runs in a different
thread context (migration thread) which tries to release and reaquire
ptl. Releasing ptl from a different thread than which acquired it
causes bad unlock unbalance.

These problems can be avoided if we avoid mapping hot-plugged memory
with 1G mapping, thereby removing the need for splitting them during
unplug. The kernel always make sure the minimum unplug request is
SUBSECTION_SIZE for device memory and SECTION_SIZE for regular memory.

In preparation for such a change remove page table splitting support.

This essentially is a revert of
commit 4dd5f8a99e791 ("powerpc/mm/radix: Split linear mapping on hot-unplug")
