[RFC 1/1] x86/vmemmap: Add missing update of PML4 table / PML5 table entry

[Gwan-gyeong Mun <gwan-gyeong.mun@intel.com>]

when performing vmemmap populate, if the entry of the PML4 table/PML5 table
pointing to the target virtual address has never been updated, a page fault
occurs when the memset(start) called from the vmemmap_use_new_sub_pmd()
execution flow.

This fixes the problem of using the virtual address without updating the
entry in the PML4 table or PML5 table. But this is a temporary solution to
prevent page fault problems, and it requires improvement of the routine
that updates the missing entry in the PML4 table or PML5 table.

Fixes: faf1c0008a33 ("x86/vmemmap: optimize for consecutive sections in partial populated PMDs")
