riscv: mm: clarify ctor mm argument in alloc_{pte,pmd}_late
pagetable_{pte,pmd}_ctor(mm, ptdesc) skip the ptlock initialisation if mm is &init_mm. To avoid unnecessary overhead, it is therefore preferable to pass the actual mm associated to the PTE/PMD. Unfortunately, this proves challenging for alloc_{pte,pmd}_late() as the associated mm is not available at the point where they are called - in fact not even top-level functions like create_pgd_mapping() are passed the mm. As a result they both call the ctor with NULL as mm; this is safe but potentially wasteful. This is not a new situation, but let's add a couple of comments to clarify it.
