mm: move pte table reclaim code to memory.c

Some cleanups for PT table reclaim code, triggered by a false-positive
warning we might start to see soon after we unlocked pt-reclaim on
architectures besides x86-64.


This patch (of 2):

The pte-table reclaim code is only called from memory.c, while zapping
pages, and it better also stays that way in the long run.  If we ever have
to call it from other files, we should expose proper high-level helpers
for zapping if the existing helpers are not good enough.

So, let's move the code over (it's not a lot) and slightly clean it up a
bit by:
- Renaming the functions.
- Dropping the "Check if it is empty PTE page" comment, which is now
  self-explaining given the function name.
- Making zap_pte_table_if_empty() return whether zapping worked so the
  caller can free it.
- Adding a comment in pte_table_reclaim_possible().
- Inlining free_pte() in the last remaining user.
- In zap_empty_pte_table(), switch from pmdp_get_lcokless() to
  pmd_clear(), we are holding the PMD PT lock.

By moving the code over, compilers can also easily figure out when
zap_empty_pte_table() does not initialize the pmdval variable, avoiding
false-positive warnings about the variable possibly not being initialized.
