Subject[PATCH 2/2] x86/mm: remove pointless checks in vmalloc_fault
Date
vmalloc_fault() sets user's pgd or p4d from the kernel page table.
Once it's set, all tables underneath are identical. There is no point
of following the same page table with two separate pointers and makes
sure they see the same with BUG().

Remove the pointless checks in vmalloc_fault(). Also rename the kernel
pgd/p4d pointers to pgd_k/p4d_k so that their names are consistent in
the file.
