Subject: mm/memory.c: properly pte_offset_map_lock/unlock in vm_insert_pages()

Calls to pte_offset_map() in vm_insert_pages() are erroneously not matched
with a call to pte_unmap().  This would cause problems on architectures
where that is not a no-op.

This patch does away with the non-traditional locking in the existing
code, and instead uses pte_offset_map_lock/unlock() as usual, incrementing
PTE as necessary.  The PTE pointer is kept within bounds since we clamp it
with PTRS_PER_PTE.
