mm: introduce pure page table freeing function
commit 01894295672335ff304beed4359f30d14d5765f2 upstream.
The pages used for ptdescs are currently freed back to the allocator in a
single location. They will shortly be freed from a second location.
Create a simple helper that just frees them back to the allocator.
