up to: 280abe14b6e0: x86/mm: Fix marking of unused sub-pmd ranges


A single fix for the handling of unpopulated sub-pmd spaces. The copy &
pasta from the corresponding s390 code screwed up the address calculation
for marking the sub-pmd ranges via memset by omitting the ALIGN_DOWN() to
calculate the proper start address. It's a mystery why this code is not
generic and shared because there is nothing architecture specific in there,
but that's too intrusive for a backportable fix.

Thanks,

tglx
