That's not what this sentence expresses. Have a look at
arch_add_memory(), in case  __add_pages() fails, the page tables are not
removed. This will also be fixed by Anshuman in the same shot.

This is a minimal implementation, sufficient for this use case here. A
full implementation is in the works. For now, this function will not be
used with an altmap (ZONE_DEVICE is not esupported for arm64 yet).

Thanks!
