PMD split lock enabling requires pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() call on PMD table
allocation and pgtable_pmd_page_dtor() on freeing.
-Allocation usually happens in pmd_alloc_one(), freeing in pmd_free(), but
-make sure you cover all PMD table allocation / freeing paths: i.e X86_PAE
-preallocate few PMDs on pgd_alloc().
