This is inine with similar patches for nopud [1] and nop4d [2] cases.
However I'm not really sure I understand clearly how the nopmd code is
supposed to work (for a 2 tier paging system) - hence the RFC.
Consider free_pmd_range() simplified/annotated below
free_pmd_range
...
pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr);
do {
next = pmd_addr_end(addr, end);
if (pmd_none_or_clear_bad(pmd)) => *pmd_bad()/pmd_clear_bad()
[a]*
continue;
free_pte_range(tlb, pmd, addr);
} while (pmd++, addr = next, addr != end);
...
*pmd_free_tlb(tlb, pmd, start); => [b]*
For ARC/nopmd case [a] is actually checking pgd and consequently
pmd_clear_bad() can't be stubbed out for PMD_FOLDED case. However it seems
case [b] can be stubbed out (hence this patch) along same lines as [1] and
[2]
