Hugh Dickins b0b9b3df27 mm: stop leaking PageTables 
4.10-rc loadtest (even on x86, and even without THPCache) fails with
"fork: Cannot allocate memory" or some such; and /proc/meminfo shows
PageTables growing.

Commit 953c66c2b2 ("mm: THP page cache support for ppc64") that got
merged in rc1 removed the freeing of an unused preallocated pagetable
after do_fault_around() has called map_pages().

This is usually a good optimization, so that the followup doesn't have
to reallocate one; but it's not sufficient to shift the freeing into
alloc_set_pte(), since there are failure cases (most commonly
VM_FAULT_RETRY) which never reach finish_fault().

Check and free it at the outer level in do_fault(), then we don't need
to worry in alloc_set_pte(), and can restore that to how it was (I
cannot find any reason to pte_free() under lock as it was doing).

And fix a separate pagetable leak, or crash, introduced by the same
change, that could only show up on some ppc64: why does do_set_pmd()'s
failure case attempt to withdraw a pagetable when it never deposited
one, at the same time overwriting (so leaking) the vmf->prealloc_pte?
Residue of an earlier implementation, perhaps? Delete it.

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
