[PATCH v2 06/12] sparc: add pte_free_defer() for pte_t *pgtable_t

Add sparc-specific pte_free_defer(), to call pte_free() via call_rcu().
pte_free_defer() will be called inside khugepaged's retract_page_tables()
loop, where allocating extra memory cannot be relied upon.  This precedes
the generic version to avoid build breakage from incompatible pgtable_t.

sparc32 supports pagetables sharing a page, but does not support THP;
sparc64 supports THP, but does not support pagetables sharing a page.
So the sparc-specific pte_free_defer() is as simple as the generic one,
except for converting between pte_t *pgtable_t and struct page *.
