[PATCH 08/11] unpaged: anon in VM_UNPAGED

[Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>]

copy_one_pte needs to copy the anonymous COWed pages in a VM_UNPAGED
area, zap_pte_range needs to free them, do_wp_page needs to COW them:
just like ordinary pages, not like the unpaged.

But recognizing them is a little subtle: because PageReserved is no
longer a condition for remap_pfn_range, we can now mmap all of /dev/mem
(whether the distro permits, and whether it's advisable on this or that
architecture, is another matter).  So if we can see a PageAnon, it may
not be ours to mess with (or may be ours from elsewhere in the address
space).  I suspect there's an entertaining insoluble self-referential
problem here, but the page_is_anon function does a good practical job,
and MAP_PRIVATE PROT_WRITE VM_UNPAGED will always be an odd choice.

In updating the comment on page_address_in_vma, noticed a potential
NULL dereference, in a path we don't actually take, but fixed it.
