 pmd_populate_kernel in copy_pte()

Hi Ard and Pingfan

This bug I had fix and send out Patch v1 in 31 Oct. And it seems my 
patch had been ignored, and Pingfan's patch had been reviewed:

This is link of Pingfan's patch:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20211111060316.12438-1-kernelfans@gmail.com/#r

It seems that I am not subscribe linux-arm-kernel successfully.

Thanks!
