pte_alloc_map() expects to be followed by pte_unmap(), but hugetlb omits
that: to keep balance in future, use the recently added pte_alloc_huge()
instead; with pte_offset_huge() a better name for pte_offset_kernel().

pte_alloc_map_lock() expects to be followed by pte_unmap_unlock(): to
keep balance in future, pass ptep as well as ptl to gmap_pte_op_end(),
and use pte_unmap_unlock() instead of direct spin_unlock() (even though
ptep ends up unused inside the macro).

In rare transient cases, not yet made possible, pte_offset_map() and
pte_offset_map_lock() may not find a page table: handle appropriately.
Add comment on mm's contract with s390 above __zap_zero_pages(),
and fix old comment there: must be called after THP was disabled.

arch
kvmppc races beween page
table and huge entry, of the kind which we are expecting to address
in pte_offset_map() - this might want to be revisited in future.

unmap_uncached_pte() is working from pgd_offset_k(vaddr), so it should
use pte_offset_kernel() instead of pte_offset_map(), to avoid the
question of whether a pte_unmap() will be needed to balance.

To keep balance in future, remember to pte_unmap() after a successful
get_ptep(). And act as if flush_cache_pages() really needs a map there,
to read the pfn before "unmapping", to be sure page table is not removed.

provided by the caller is actually the pmdp,
instead of testing pmd_huge(): or test pmd_huge() too and warn if it
disagrees? This is "hazardous" territory: needs review and testing.

Here is v2 series of patches to various architectures, based on v6.4-rc5:
preparing for v2 of changes following in mm, affecting pte_offset_map()
and pte_offset_map_lock(). There are very few differences from v1:
noted patch by patch below.
v1 was "arch: allow pte_offset_map[_lock]() to fail"
