4.4-stable 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.
