Why this extra check? mm_pkey_is_allocated(mm, 0) should not return true
ever. If it does, then this wants to be fixed.

I was thinking that we _do_ actually want it to seem allocated.  It just
get "allocated" implicitly when an mm is created.  I think that will
simplify the code if we avoid treating it specially in as many places as
possible.

That works as well.
