Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] arm64: trans_pgd: unify the use of pmd_populate_kernel

In commit 5de59884ac0e ("arm64: trans_pgd: pass NULL instead
of init_mm to *_populate functions"), simply replace init_mm
with NULL for pmd_populate_kernel. But in commit 59511cfd08f3
("arm64: mm: use XN table mapping attributes for user/kernel
mappings"), adding the check of mm context in
'pmd_populate_kernel'. And 'pmd_populate_kernel' always
called with init_mm under arm64, nice to unify its use.

This patch make a simple change, just restoring init_mm for
'pmd_populate_kernel' in 'copy_pte'.
