The variable value is undefined from the stack eara. So it makes sense to
init the variable to run process correctly.
If the variable pmd_idx inits the value more than PTRS_PER_PMD, the
count may be smaller than the correct value, and the allocated page may
be not enough for pte entry.
The kernel may panic cause by the undefine variable which is allocated
from stack.
