x86: preallocate and prepopulate separately 



Jan Beulich points out that vmalloc_sync_all() assumes that the
kernel's pmd is always expected to be present in the pgd.  The current
pgd construction code will add the pgd to the pgd_list before its pmds
have been pre-populated, thereby making it visible to
vmalloc_sync_all().

However, because pgd_prepopulate_pmd also does the allocation, it may
block and cannot be done under spinlock.

The solution is to preallocate the pmds out of the spinlock, then
populate them while holding the pgd_list lock.

This patch also pulls the pmd preallocation and mop-up functions out
to be common, assuming that the compiler will generate no code for
them when PREALLOCTED_PMDS is 0.  Also, there's no need for pgd_ctor
to clear the pgd again, since it's allocated as a zeroed page.
