Subject: [PATCH] s390/mm: fix pud table accounting

With "mm: account pud page tables" and "mm: consolidate page table
accounting" pud page table accounting was introduced which now results
in tons of warnings like this one on s390:

BUG: non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm: -16384

Reason for this are our run-time folded page tables: by default new
processes start with three page table levels where the allocated pgd
is the same as the first pud. In this case there won't ever be a pud
allocated and therefore mm_inc_nr_puds() will also never be called.

However when freeing the address space free_pud_range() will call
exactly once mm_dec_nr_puds() which leads to misaccounting.

Therefore call mm_inc_nr_puds() within init_new_context() to fix
this. This is the same like we have it already for processes that run
with two page table levels (aka compat processes).

While at it also adjust the comment, since there is no "mm->nr_pmds"
anymore.
