Applied to arm64 (for-next/fixes), thanks!

[1/2] arm64/mm: fix incorrect file_map_count for non-leaf pmd/pud
      https://git.kernel.org/arm64/c/5b47348fc0b1

I only merged the first patch in this series as Will had some questions
on the second patch (it does seem weird that the pud and pmd functions
are different w.r.t. the p*d_user() checks).
