Unfortunately, p?d_alloc() and p?d_free() are not pair!! If p?d_alloc()
succeed, they may be used, so in the next failure, we have to skip them
to let exit_mmap() or do_munmap() to process it.
According to "Documentation/vm/locking", 'mm->page_table_lock' is for
using vma list, so not need it when its related vmas are detached or
unmapped from using vma list.
The related work flow:
exit_mmap() ->
unmap_vmas(); /* so not need mm->page_table_lock */
free_pgtables();
do_munmap()->
detach_vmas_to_be_unmapped(); /* so not need mm->page_table_lock */
unmap_region() ->
free_pgtables();
free_pgtables() ->
free_pgd_range() ->
free_pud_range() ->
free_pmd_range() ->
free_pte_range() ->
pmd_clear();
pte_free_tlb();
pud_clear();
pmd_free_tlb();
pgd_clear();
pud_free_tlb();
