mm/pagewalk: fix bootstopping regression from extra pte_unmap()
Mikhail reports early-6.6-based Fedora Rawhide not booting: "rcu_preempt
detected expedited stalls", minutes wait, and then hung_task splat while
kworker trying to synchronize_rcu_expedited(). Nothing logged to disk.
He bisected to my 6.6 a349d72fd9ef ("mm/pgtable: add rcu_read_lock() and
rcu_read_unlock()s"): but the one to blame is my 6.5 commit to fix the
espfix "bad pmd" warnings when booting x86_64 with CONFIG_EFI_PGT_DUMP=y.
Gaah, that added an "addr >= TASK_SIZE" check to avoid pte_offset_map(),
but failed to add the equivalent check when choosing to pte_unmap().
It's not a problem on 6.5 (for different reasons, it's harmless on both
64-bit and 32-bit), but becomes a bootstopper on 6.6 with the unbalanced
rcu_read_unlock() - RCU has a WARN_ON_ONCE for that, but it would have
scrolled off Mikhail's console too quickly.
