x86: add missed pgtable_pmd_page_ctor/dtor calls for preallocated pmds

In split page table lock case, we embed spinlock_t into struct page.
For obvious reason, we don't want to increase size of struct page if
spinlock_t is too big, like with DEBUG_SPINLOCK or DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC or
on -rt kernel.  So we disable split page table lock, if spinlock_t is
too big.

This patchset allows to allocate the lock dynamically if spinlock_t is
big.  In this page->ptl is used to store pointer to spinlock instead of
spinlock itself.  It costs additional cache line for indirect access,
but fix page fault scalability for multi-threaded applications.

LOCK_STAT depends on DEBUG_SPINLOCK, so on current kernel enabling
LOCK_STAT to analyse scalability issues breaks scalability.  ;)

The patchset mostly fixes this.  Results for ./thp_memscale -c 80 -b 512M
on 4-socket machine:

baseline, no CONFIG_LOCK_STAT: 9.115460703 seconds time elapsed
baseline, CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y: 53.890567123 seconds time elapsed
patched, no CONFIG_LOCK_STAT: 8.852250368 seconds time elapsed
patched, CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y: 11.069770759 seconds time elapsed

Patch count is scary, but most of them trivial. Overview:

 Patches 1-4 Few bug fixes. No dependencies to other patches.
Probably should applied as soon as possible.

 Patch 5 Changes signature of pgtable_page_ctor(). We will use it
for dynamic lock allocation, so it can fail.

 Patches 6-8 Add missing constructor/destructor calls on few archs.
It's fixes NR_PAGETABLE accounting and prepare to use
split ptl.

 Patches 9-33 Add pgtable_page_ctor() fail handling to all archs.

 Patches 34 Finally adds support of dynamically-allocated page->pte.
Also contains documentation for split page table lock.

This patch (of 34):

I've missed that we preallocate few pmds on pgd_alloc() if X86_PAE
enabled.  Let's add missed constructor/destructor calls.

I haven't noticed it during testing since prep_new_page() clears
page->mapping and therefore page->ptl.  It's effectively equal to
spin_lock_init(&page->ptl).
