Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm/pti: in pti_clone_pgtable() don't increase addr by PUD_SIZE

pti_clone_pgtable() increases addr by PUD_SIZE for pud_none(*pud) case.
This is not accurate because addr may not be PUD_SIZE aligned.

In our x86_64 kernel, pti_clone_pgtable() fails to clone 7 PMDs because
of this issuse, including PMD for the irq entry table. For a memcache
like workload, this introduces about 4.5x more iTLB-load and about 2.5x
more iTLB-load-misses on a Skylake CPU.

This patch fixes this issue by adding PMD_SIZE to addr for pud_none()
case.
