x86/mm/hotplug: Fix BUG_ON() after hot-remove by not freeing PUD Since commit: af2cf278ef4f ("x86/mm/hotplug: Don't remove PGD entries in remove_pagetable()") we no longer free PUDs so that we do not have to synchronize all PGDs on hot-remove/vfree(). But the new 5-level page table patchset reverted that for 4-level page tables, in the following commit: f2a6a7050109: ("x86: Convert the rest of the code to support p4d_t") This patch restores the damage and disables free_pud() if we are in the 4-level page table case, thus avoiding BUG_ON() after hot-remove.
