Kevin Brodsky 8240d8d3c5 mm: skip ptlock_init() for kernel PMDs
Split page table locks are not used for pgtables associated to init_mm, at
any level.  pte_alloc_kernel() does not call ptlock_init() as a result. 
There is however no separate alloc/free functions for kernel PMDs, and
pmd_ptlock_init() is called unconditionally.  When ALLOC_SPLIT_PTLOCKS is
true (e.g.  32-bit architectures or if CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is selected),
this results in unnecessary dynamic memory allocation every time a kernel
PMD is allocated.

Now that pagetable_pmd_ctor() is passed the associated mm, we can easily
remove this overhead by skipping pmd_ptlock_init() if the pgtable is
associated to init_mm.  No special-casing is needed on the dtor path, as
ptlock_free() is already called unconditionally for all levels. 
(ptlock_free() is a no-op unless a ptlock was allocated for the given
PTP.)
