mm: introduce deferred freeing for kernel page tables
This introduces a conditional asynchronous mechanism, enabled by
CONFIG_ASYNC_KERNEL_PGTABLE_FREE. When enabled, this mechanism defers the
freeing of pages that are used as page tables for kernel address mappings.
These pages are now queued to a work struct instead of being freed
immediately.
This deferred freeing allows for batch-freeing of page tables, providing a
safe context for performing a single expensive operation (TLB flush) for a
batch of kernel page tables instead of performing that expensive operation
for each page table.
