CVE-2024-56673 riscv: mm: Do not call pmd dtor on vmemmap page table teardown
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

riscv: mm: Do not call pmd dtor on vmemmap page table teardown

The vmemmap's, which is used for RV64 with SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, page
tables are populated using pmd (page middle directory) hugetables.
However, the pmd allocation is not using the generic mechanism used by
the VMA code (e.g. pmd_alloc()), or the RISC-V specific
create_pgd_mapping()/alloc_pmd_late(). Instead, the vmemmap page table
code allocates a page, and calls vmemmap_set_pmd(). This results in
that the pmd ctor is *not* called, nor would it make sense to do so.

Now, when tearing down a vmemmap page table pmd, the cleanup code
would unconditionally, and incorrectly call the pmd dtor, which
results in a crash (best case).

This issue was found when running the HMM selftests:

Add a check to avoid calling the pmd dtor, if the calling context is
vmemmap_free().
