[PATCH] mm: Fix possible off-by-one in walk_pte_range()

[Johannes Weiner]

After the loop in walk_pte_range() pte might point to the first address
after the pmd it walks.  The pte_unmap() is then applied to something
bad.

Spotted by Roel Kluin and Andreas Schwab.

A bug is unlikely, though.  kunmap_atomic() looks up the kmap entry by
map-type instead of the address the pte points.  So the worst thing I
could find with a quick grep was that a wrong TLB entry is being
flushed.  Still, the code is wrong :)
