Commit 0dd4f60a2c ("arm64: mm: Add support for folding PUDs at
runtime") implements specialized PUD alloc/free helpers to allow the
decision whether or not to fold PUDs to be made at runtime when the
number of paging levels is 4 or higher.
Its implementation of pud_free() is based on the generic version that
existed when the patch was first written, but in the meantime, the
freeing of a PUD has become a bit more involved, and so instead of
simply freeing the page, we should invoke the generic __pud_free() that
encapsulates whatever needs doing at this point.
This fixes a reported warning emitted by the page flags
self-diagnostics.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
