Retire pmap_pinit2().  Alpha was the last platform that used it.  However,
ever since alpha/alpha/pmap.c revision 1.81 introduced the list allpmaps,
there has been no reason for having this function on Alpha.  Briefly,
when pmap_growkernel() relied upon the list of all processes to find and
update the various pmaps to reflect a growth in the kernel's valid
address space, pmap_init2() served to avoid a race between pmap
initialization and pmap_growkernel().  Specifically, pmap_pinit2() was
responsible for initializing the kernel portions of the pmap and
pmap_pinit2() was called after the process structure contained a pointer
to the new pmap for use by pmap_growkernel().  Thus, an update to the
kernel's address space might be applied to the new pmap unnecessarily,
but an update would never be lost.
