This patch causes a kernel panic on arm64 (and possibly powerpc, I
haven't tried). arm64 still uses the 5level-fixup.h and pud_alloc()
checks for the empty p4d with pgd_none() instead of p4d_none().
The patch below fixes it:

Subject: [PATCH] mm: Use pgd_none() in pud_alloc_track() with
__ARCH_HAS_5LEVEL_HACK
Commit d8626138009b ("mm: add functions to track page directory
modifications") introduced the pud_alloc_track() function checking for
an empty p4d using p4d_none(). However, when __ARCH_HAS_5LEVEL_HACK is
defined, the pud_alloc() counterpart checks for an empty p4d using
pgd_none(). Since p4d_none() is always 0 in this case, no pud would be
allocated and the kernel panics during boot on arm64 (at least).
Until all architectures are moved away from the 5level-fixup.h, define a
pud_alloc_track() that matches the __ARCH_HAS_5LEVEL_HACK pud_alloc().
Fixes: d8626138009b ("mm: add functions to track page directory modifications")
