We discussed if that is really the right approach for quite a while now, but
digging deeper into a bug report on arm turned out that this is actually
horrible broken right now.

The reason for this is that vmf_insert_mixed_prot() always tries to grab
a reference to the underlaying page on architectures without
ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL and as far as I can see also enabled GUP.

So nuke using VM_MIXEDMAP here and use VM_PFNMAP instead.

Also set VM_SHARED, not 100% sure if that is needed with VM_PFNMAP, but better
save than sorry.
