[RFC 03/10] x86/mm, mm,kernel: add teardown for process-local memory to mm cleanup

From: Marius Hillenbrand
Date: Wed Jun 12 2019 - 13:15:40 EST


Process-local memory uses a dedicated pgd entry in kernel space and its
own page table structure. Hook mm exit functions to cleanup those
dedicated page tables. As a preparation, release any left-over
process-local allocations in the address space.
