[PATCH] PPC32: Fixup pmd_page to work when ARCH_PFN_OFFSET is non-zero

Instead of referencing mem_map directly, use pfn_to_page. Otherwise
the kernel crashes when trying to start userspace if ARCH_PFN_OFFSET is
non-zero and CONFIG_BOOKE is not defined

For reference, on powerpc 32 with CONFIG_FLATMEM:

#define pfn_to_page __pfn_to_page
#define __pfn_to_page(pfn)      (mem_map + ((pfn) - ARCH_PFN_OFFSET))

So the below patch has no effect if ARCH_PFN_OFFEST is 0.
