[PATCH] parisc: mm: Fix a memory leak related to pmd not attached to the pgd

[Christophe JAILLET]

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.

This patch is *untested* as I don't have the hardware to test it.

This is just a guess based on the indentation, the comment in the code
and the commit log.
