Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Fix preallocated PMD stack array

While trying to remove VLAs in pgd_alloc(), a typo was made and a use
of PREALLOCATED_PMDS was replaced with the new MAX_PREALLOCATED_USER_PMDS
(note "...USER..."). Instead, we also need a new MAX_PREALLOCATED_PMDS.
This adds it and fixes the stack array size.

Without this fix, 32-bit kernels would trip the stack protector at boot:

Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: pgd_alloc+0x29e/0x2a0
