Subject: [PATCH v4] riscv: mm: Remove the copy operation of pmd

Since all processes share the kernel address space,
we only need to copy pgd in case of a vmalloc page
fault exception, the other levels of page tables are
shared, so the operation of copying pmd is unnecessary.

Signed-off-by: Chuanhua Han <hanchuanhua@...o.com>

Changes in v4:
  -Modify incorrect author name.

Changes in v3:
  -Change the real name of signed-off-by.

Changes in v2:
  -Delete incorrect default signatures.
