This came up when removing __ARCH_HAS_5LEVEL_HACK for ARC as code bloat.
With this patch we see the following code reduction.
| bloat-o-meter2 vmlinux-E-elide-p?d_clear_bad vmlinux-F-elide-pmd_free_tlb
| add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-112 (-112)
| function old new delta
| free_pgd_range 422 310 -112
| Total: Before=
4137042, After=
4136930, chg -1.000000%
Note that pmd folding can be tricky: In 2-level setup (where pmd is
conceptually folded) most pmd routines are valid and refer to upper levels.
In this patch we can, but see next patch for example where we can't
