This is CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS=2. IIUC patch 5 didn't do anything wrong,
but when renaming pud_large() it caused this confliction, while in the past
it was a silent confliction between the old pud_leaf() macro and pud_leaf()
defintion, the macro could have silently overwrote the function.
IIUC such pud_leaf() is not needed as we have a global fallback. I'll add
a pre-requisite patch to remove such pXd_leaf() definitions.
