I find the imbalance pretty confusing: pagetable_dtor() is called
explicitly before using tlb_remove_page() but not tlb_remove_ptdesc().
Doesn't that assume that CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_HAVE_TABLE_FREE is selected?
Could we not call pagetable_dtor() from __tlb_batch_free_encoded_pages()
to ensure that the dtor is always called just before freeing, and remove
the extra handling from arch code? I may well be missing something, I'm
not super familiar with the tlb handling code.
