Subject: [PATCHv2] m68k: fix "bad page state" oops on ColdFire boot

Booting a ColdFire m68k core with MMU enabled causes a "bad page state"
oops since commit 1d40a5ea01d5 ("mm: mark pages in use for page tables"):

BUG: Bad page state in process sh pfn:01ce2
page:004fefc8 count:0 mapcount:-1024 mapping:00000000 index:0x0
flags: 0x0()
raw: 00000000 00000000 00000000 fffffbff 00000000 00000100 00000200 00000000
raw: 039c4000
page dumped because: nonzero mapcount
Modules linked in:
CPU: 0 PID: 22 Comm: sh Not tainted 4.17.0-07461-g1d40a5ea01d5 #13

Fix by calling pgtable_page_dtor() in our __pte_free_tlb() code path,
so that the PG_table flag is cleared before we free the pte page.

Note that I had to change the type of pte_free() to be static from
extern. Otherwise you get a lot of warnings like this:

./arch/m68k/include/asm/mcf_pgalloc.h:80:2: warning: ‘pgtable_page_dtor’ is static but used in inline function ‘pte_free’ which is not static
pgtable_page_dtor(page);
^

And making it static is consistent with our use of this in the other
m68k pgalloc definitions of pte_free().

v2: add a call to pgtable_page_dtor() in pte_free() as well
