from v4.2 to v4.3-rc1, and started failing after the changes in

Yes, and the call to clear_fixmap() too. This part of the code will
never actually be called on !MMU because patch_map() will always exit
early with nothing to remap. Will you send a patch?
(More code can be ifdef'd out to make a cleaner solution but I think that
really needs a simplification of the locking to be done first, which is
bit much for a late -rc.)
