Subject: mm: do not call do_fault_around for non-linear fault
Ingo Korb reported that "repeated mapping of the same file on tmpfs using
remap_file_pages sometimes triggers a BUG at mm/filemap.c:202 when the
process exits". He bisected the bug to d7c1755179b82d ("mm: implement
->map_pages for shmem/tmpfs"), although the bug was actually added by
8c6e50b0290c4 ("mm: introduce vm_ops->map_pages()").
Problem is caused by calling do_fault_around for _non-linear_ faiult. In
this case pgoff is shifted and might become negative during calculation.
Faulting around non-linear page-fault has no sense and breaks logic in
do_fault_around because pgoff is shifted.
