rS335971: As of r335784, if pmap_enter() replaces a managed mapping by an unmanaged

Summary

Hypothetically, pmap_enter() could replace a managed mapping by an unmanaged mapping, in which case, pmap_enter() would currently leak the unlinked PV entry. This change frees that PV entry when the new mapping is unmanaged.

I'm working on the i386 version. As you may have noticed, the i386 pmap has the CoW problem, but not the PV entry allocation problem.
