In the version I tested, I also had

@@ -2216,7 +2216,7 @@ static int apply_to_pte_range(struct mm_struct *mm, pmd_t *pmd,

        if (create) {
                pte = (mm == &init_mm) ?
-                       pte_alloc_kernel(pmd, addr) :

                if (!pte)
                        return -ENOMEM;

And that PGTBL_PMD_MODIFIED makes a difference.
