Hi, Qi

I am new to PT_RECLAIM, when reading related code I got one question.

Before this patch,  we could have this config combination:

    CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE & !CONFIG_PT_RECLAIM

This means tlb_remove_table_free() is rcu version while tlb_remove_table_one()
is semi rcu version.

I am curious could we use rcu version tlb_remove_table_one() for this case?
Use rcu version tlb_remove_table_one() if CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE. Is
there some limitation here?

Thanks in advance for your explanation.
