Title:
Invalid backport to v4.15: missing pgtable_l5_enabled
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in linux source package in Bionic:
Incomplete
Bug description:
[Impact]
Commit 5047ef5725ed ("x86/mm: Don't free P4D table when it is folded at
runtime") should not be backported to v4.15 because:
1. It adds pgtable_l5_enabled which does not exist in v4.15,
2. It is marked as v4.17+
3. It is marked as fixing commit which does not exist in v4.15 and was not
backported there.
allyesconfig in x86_64 fails to build:

[Test Plan]
Compile the x86_64 KVM code.
[Where problems could occur]
If backport commit is actually needed, e.g. when we backport 5-level
page tables and commit 98219dda2ab5 ("x86/mm: Fold p4d page table
layer at runtime"), this could cause double-free and memory
corruption.
When backporting x86_64 5-level pages, we need to bring this commit as
well.
