The code flow for first time attaching a PT and replacing a PT is very similar except for the lowest do_attach step. Reorganize this so that the do_attach step is a function pointer. Replace requires destroying the old HWPT once it is replaced. This destruction cannot be done under all the locks that are held in the function pointer, so the signature allows returning a HWPT which will be destroyed by the caller after everything is unlocked.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
