x86/mm/hotplug: Fix BUG_ON() after hot-remove by not freeing PUD

Browse Source 
Since commit:

  af2cf278ef ("x86/mm/hotplug: Don't remove PGD entries in remove_pagetable()")

we no longer free PUDs so that we do not have to synchronize
all PGDs on hot-remove/vfree().

But the new 5-level page table patchset reverted that for 4-level
page tables, in the following commit:

  f2a6a70501: ("x86: Convert the rest of the code to support p4d_t")

This patch restores the damage and disables free_pud() if we are in the
4-level page table case, thus avoiding BUG_ON() after hot-remove.
