x86: pgtable: always use pte_free_kernel()

Browse source 
Page table pages are normally freed using the appropriate helper for the
given page table level.  On x86, pud_free_pmd_page() and
pmd_free_pte_page() are an exception to the rule: they call free_page()
directly.

Constructor/destructor calls are about to be introduced for kernel PTEs. 
To avoid missing dtor calls in those helpers, free the PTE pages using
pte_free_kernel() instead of free_page().

While at it also use pmd_free() instead of calling pagetable_dtor()
explicitly at the PMD level.
