parisc: mm: don't count preallocated pmds

The patch 93fe92fd208c6998c8b56cc8bdbea87b44b9bfad that counts pmds
allocated for a process introduced a bug on 64-bit PA-RISC kernels.

The PA-RISC architecture preallocates one pmd with each pgd. This
preallocated pmd can never be freed - pmd_free does nothing when it is
called with this pmd. When the kernel attempts to free this preallocated
pmd, it decreases the count of allocated pmds. The result is that the
counter underflows and this error is reported.

This patch fixes the bug by artifically incrementing the counter in
pmd_free when the kernel tries to free the preallocated pmd.
