4.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jail...@wanadoo.fr>
commit 4c4ac9a48ac512c6b5a6cca06cfad2ad96e8caaa upstream.
Commit 0e0da48dee8d ("parisc: mm: don't count preallocated pmds")
introduced a memory leak.
After this commit, the 'return' statement in pmd_free is executed in all
cases. Even for pmd that are not attached to the pgd. So 'free_pages'
can never be called anymore, leading to a memory leak.
