Subject[PATCH 3.16 095/305] parisc: Fix map_pages() to not overwrite existing pte entries
3.16.63-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

commit 3c229b3f2dd8133f61bb81d3cb018be92f4bba39 upstream.

Fix a long-existing small nasty bug in the map_pages() implementation which
leads to overwriting already written pte entries with zero, *if* map_pages() is
called a second time with an end address which isn't aligned on a pmd boundry.
This happens for example if we want to remap only the text segment read/write
in order to run alternative patching on the code. Exiting the loop when we
reach the end address fixes this.
