parisc: Fix map_pages() to not overwrite existing pte entries
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.
