    Remove the support for pte_chain rmap from page table initialization, just
    continue to maintain nr_page_table_pages (but only for user page tables -
    it also counted vmalloc page tables before, little need, and I'm unsure if
    per-cpu stats are safe early enough on all arches).  mm/memory.c is the
    only core file affected.
    
    But ppc and ppc64 have found the old rmap page table initialization useful
    to support their ptep_test_and_clear_young: so transfer rmap's
    initialization to them (even on kernel page tables?  well, okay).
