[PATCH] mm: revert mremap pud_free anti-fix

[Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>]

Revert 1ecfd533f4c5 ("mm/mremap.c: call pud_free() after fail calling
pmd_alloc()").  The original code was correct: pud_alloc(), pmd_alloc(),
pte_alloc_map() ensure that the pud, pmd, pt is already allocated, and
seldom do they need to allocate; on failure, upper levels are freed if
appropriate by the subsequent do_munmap().  Whereas 1ecfd533f4c5 did an
unconditional pud_free() of a most-likely still-in-use pud: saved only
by the near-impossiblity of pmd_alloc() failing.
