mm: call ctor/dtor for kernel PTEs

Since [1], constructors/destructors are expected to be called for all page
table pages, at all levels and for both user and kernel pgtables.  There
is however one glaring exception: kernel PTEs are managed via separate
helpers (pte_alloc_kernel/pte_free_kernel), which do not call the [cd]tor,
at least not in the generic implementation.

The most obvious reason for this anomaly is that init_mm is special-cased
not to use split page table locks.  As a result calling ptlock_init() for
PTEs associated with init_mm would be wasteful, potentially resulting in
dynamic memory allocation.  However, pgtable [cd]tors perform other
actions - currently related to accounting/statistics, and potentially more
functionally significant in the future.

Now that pagetable_pte_ctor() is passed the associated mm, we can make it
skip the call to ptlock_init() for init_mm; this allows us to call the
ctor from pte_alloc_one_kernel() too.  This is matched by a call to the
pgtable destructor in pte_free_kernel(); no special-casing is needed on
that path, as ptlock_free() is already called unconditionally. 
(ptlock_free() is a no-op unless a ptlock was allocated for the given
PTP.)

This patch ensures that all architectures that rely on
<asm-generic/pgalloc.h> call the [cd]tor for kernel PTEs. 
pte_free_kernel() cannot be overridden so changing the generic
implementation is sufficient.  pte_alloc_one_kernel() can be overridden
using __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_ALLOC_ONE_KERNEL, and a few architectures implement
it by calling the page allocator directly.  We amend those so that they
call the generic __pte_alloc_one_kernel() instead, if possible, ensuring
that the ctor is called.

A few architectures do not use <asm-generic/pgalloc.h>; those will be
taken care of separately.
