I don't think your patch is wrong, but wouldn't it be easier and
cleaner to just do this instead

    --- a/include/asm-generic/pgtable-nopmd.h

     #undef  pmd_addr_end
     #define pmd_addr_end(addr, end)                    (end)

and just rely on the regular "#ifndef pmd_free_tlb" in
include/asm-generic/tlb.h?

Completely untested.
