[PATCH 4.17 45/46] x86/mm: Dont free P4D table when it is folded at runtime

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andrey Ryabinin <aryabinin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 0e311d237d7f3022b7dafb639b42541bfb42fe94 upstream.

When the P4D page table layer is folded at runtime, the p4d_free()
should do nothing, the same as in <asm-generic/pgtable-nop4d.h>.

It seems this bug should cause double-free in efi_call_phys_epilog(),
but I don't know how to trigger that code path, so I can't confirm that
by testing.
