ioremap: Update pgtable free interfaces with addr



The following kernel panic was observed on ARM64 platform due to a stale
TLB entry.

 1. ioremap with 4K size, a valid pte page table is set.
 2. iounmap it, its pte entry is set to 0.
 3. ioremap the same address with 2M size, update its pmd entry with
    a new value.
 4. CPU may hit an exception because the old pmd entry is still in TLB,
    which leads to a kernel panic.

Commit b6bdb751 ("mm/vmalloc: add interfaces to free unmapped page
table") has addressed this panic by falling to pte mappings in the above
case on ARM64.

To support pmd mappings in all cases, TLB purge needs to be performed
in this case on ARM64.

Add a new arg, 'addr', to pud_free_pmd_page() and pmd_free_pte_page()
so that TLB purge can be added later in seprate patches.
