It looks like this doesn't matter. The statistics here prints the size
of summary memory occupied for pte_t entries, here PTRS_PER_PTE * sizeof(pte_t)
is only valid for, once we start accounting pmd into same counter it implies
that PTRS_PER_PTE == PTRS_PER_PMD, which is not true for all archs
(if I understand the idea of accounting here right).
