Patch series "Cleanup and fixups for vmemmap handling", v6.
This series contains cleanups to remove dead code that handles unaligned
cases for 4K and 1GB pages (patch#1 and patch#2) when removing the vemmmap
range, and a fix (patch#3) to handle the case when two vmemmap ranges
intersect the same PMD.
This patch (of 4):
remove_pte_table() is prepared to handle the case where either the start
or the end of the range is not PAGE aligned. This cannot actually happen:
__populate_section_memmap enforces the range to be PMD aligned, so as long
as the size of the struct page remains multiple of 8, the vmemmap range
will be aligned to PAGE_SIZE.
Drop the dead code and place a VM_BUG_ON in vmemmap_{populate,free} to
catch nasty cases. Note that the VM_BUG_ON is placed in there because
vmemmap_{populate,free= } is the gate of all removing and freeing page
tables logic.
