x86/mm/hotplug: Modify PGD entry when removing memory
When hot-adding/removing memory, sync_global_pgds() is called
for synchronizing PGD to PGD entries of all processes MM. But
when hot-removing memory, sync_global_pgds() does not work
correctly.
At first, sync_global_pgds() checks whether target PGD is none
or not. And if PGD is none, the PGD is skipped. But when
hot-removing memory, PGD may be none since PGD may be cleared by
free_pud_table(). So when sync_global_pgds() is called after
hot-removing memory, sync_global_pgds() should not skip PGD even
if the PGD is none. And sync_global_pgds() must clear PGD
entries of all processes MM.
Currently sync_global_pgds() does not clear PGD entries of all
processes MM when hot-removing memory. So when hot adding
memory which is same memory range as removed memory after
hot-removing memory, following call traces are shown:

sync_global_pgds() is called after hot-removing memory
