x86/mm: Always "broadcast" PMD setting operations
Kernel PMDs can either be shared across processes or private to a process. On 64-bit, they are always shared. 32-bit non-PAE hardware does not have PMDs, but the kernel logically squishes them into the PGD and treats them as private. Here are the four cases: 64-bit: Shared 32-bit: non-PAE: Private 32-bit: PAE+ PTI: Private 32-bit: PAE+noPTI: Shared Note that 32-bit is all "Private" except for PAE+noPTI being an oddball. The 32-bit+PAE+noPTI case will be made like the rest of 32-bit shortly. But until that can be done, temporarily treat the 32-bit+PAE+noPTI case as Private. This will do unnecessary walks across pgd_list and unnecessary PTE setting but should be otherwise harmless.
