[PATCH] pgtable: do not expose _refcount field via ptdesc

From: Alexander Gordeev
Date: Tue Nov 21 2023 - 07:03:24 EST


Since commit d08d4e7cd6bf ("s390/mm: use full 4KB page for 2KB PTE")
_refcount field is not used for fragmented page tracking on s390 and
there is no other code left that accesses this field explicitly.
