Good catch. Thanks!

But I think we only need to skip free_pud_table() for 4-level paging.
If we don't we would leave 513 page tables around instead of one in
5-level paging case.

I don't think it's acceptable.

And please use patch subject lines along with commit hashes to simplify
reading commit message.
