Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 10/19] x86/mm: Use alloc_table() for fill_pte(), etc
fill_pte(), set_pte_vaddr(), etc allocate page tables with
spp_getpage(). Use alloc_table() for these allocations in order to get
tables from the cache of protected pages when needed.
Opportunistically, fix a stale comment.
