[RFC PATCH 28/37] mm: implement speculative handling in filemap_map_pages()

[Michel Lespinasse <michel@lespinasse.org>]

In the speculative case, we know the page table already exists, and it
must be locked with pte_map_lock(). In the case where no page is found
for the given address, return VM_FAULT_RETRY which will abort the
fault before we get into the vm_ops->fault() callback. This is fine
because if filemap_map_pages does not find the page in page cache,
vm_ops->fault() will not either.

Initialize addr and last_pgoff to correspond to the pte at the original
fault address (which was mapped with pte_map_lock()), rather than the
pte at start_pgoff. The choice of initial values doesn't matter as
they will all be adjusted together before use, so they just need to be
consistent with each other, and using the original fault address and
pte allows us to reuse pte_map_lock() without any changes to it.
