[PATCH v2] mm: fix account pmd page to the process

[zhongjiang]

From: zhong jiang <zhongjiang@xxxxxxxxxx>

huge_pmd_share accounts the number of pmds incorrectly when it races
with a parallel pud instantiation. vma_interval_tree_foreach will
increase the counter but then has to recheck the pud with the pte lock
held and the back off path should drop the increment. The previous
code would lead to an elevated pmd count which shouldn't be very
harmful (check_mm() might complain and oom_badness() might be marginally
confused) but this is worth fixing.
