 BUG: non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm: -16384

On LoongArch system, invalid huge pte entry should be invalid_pte_table
or a single _PAGE_HUGE bit rather than a zero value. And it should be
the same with invalid pmd entry, since pmd_none() is called by function
free_pgd_range() and pmd_none() return 0 by huge_pte_clear(). So single
_PAGE_HUGE bit is also treated as a valid pte table and free_pte_range()
will be called in free_pmd_range().

  free_pmd_range()
        pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr);
        do {
                next = pmd_addr_end(addr, end);
                if (pmd_none_or_clear_bad(pmd))
                        continue;
                free_pte_range(tlb, pmd, addr);
        } while (pmd++, addr = next, addr != end);

Here invalid_pte_table is used for both invalid huge pte entry and
pmd entry.
