mm: pagewalk: fix misbehavior of walk_page_range for vma(VM_PFNMAP)
walk_page_range() silently skips vma having VM_PFNMAP set, which leads to
undesirable behaviour at client end (who called walk_page_range). For
example for pagemap_read(), when no callbacks are called against VM_PFNMAP
vma, pagemap_read() may prepare pagemap data for next virtual address
range at wrong index. That could confuse and/or break userspace
applications.
This patch avoid this misbehavior caused by vma(VM_PFNMAP) like follows:
- for pagemap_read() which has its own ->pte_hole(), call the ->pte_hole()
over vma(VM_PFNMAP),
- for clear_refs and queue_pages which have their own ->tests_walk,
just return 1 and skip vma(VM_PFNMAP). This is no problem because
these are not interested in hole regions,
- for other callers, just skip the vma(VM_PFNMAP) as a default behavior.
