mm/memory.c: fix potential pte_unmap_unlock pte error

Since commit 42e4089c7890 ("x86/speculation/l1tf: Disallow non privileged
high MMIO PROT_NONE mappings"), when the first pfn modify is not allowed,
we would break the loop with pte unchanged.  Then the wrong pte - 1 would
be passed to pte_unmap_unlock.

Andi said:

 "While the fix is correct, I'm not sure if it actually is a real bug.
  Is there any architecture that would do something else than unlocking
  the underlying page? If it's just the underlying page then it should
  be always the same page, so no bug"
