Subject: [PATCH 2/3] mmap: fix the usage of ->vm_pgoff in special_mapping
	paths

Test-case:

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <unistd.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <string.h>
	#include <sys/mman.h>
	#include <assert.h>

	void *find_vdso_vaddr(void)
	{
		FILE *perl;
		char buf[32] = {};

		perl = popen("perl -e 'open STDIN,qq|/proc/@{[getppid]}/maps|;"
				"/^(.*?)-.*vdso/ && print hex $1 while <>'", "r");
		fread(buf, sizeof(buf), 1, perl);
		fclose(perl);

		return (void *)atol(buf);
	}

	#define PAGE_SIZE	4096

	int main(void)
	{
		void *vdso = find_vdso_vaddr();
		assert(vdso);

		// of course they should differ, and they do so far
		printf("vdso pages differ: %d\n",
			!!memcmp(vdso, vdso + PAGE_SIZE, PAGE_SIZE));

		// split into 2 vma's
		assert(mprotect(vdso, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ) == 0);

		// force another fault on the next check
		assert(madvise(vdso, 2 * PAGE_SIZE, MADV_DONTNEED) == 0);

		// now they no longer differ, the 2nd vm_pgoff is wrong
		printf("vdso pages differ: %d\n",
			!!memcmp(vdso, vdso + PAGE_SIZE, PAGE_SIZE));

		return 0;
	}

Output:

	vdso pages differ: 1
	vdso pages differ: 0

This is because split_vma() correctly updates ->vm_pgoff, but the logic
in insert_vm_struct() and special_mapping_fault() is absolutely broken,
so the fault at vdso + PAGE_SIZE return the 1st page. The same happens
if you simply unmap the 1st page.

special_mapping_fault() does:

	pgoff = vmf->pgoff - vma->vm_pgoff;

and this is _only_ correct if vma->vm_start mmaps the first page from
->vm_private_data array.

vdso or any other user of install_special_mapping() is not anonymous,
it has the "backing storage" even if it is just the array of pages.
So we actually need to make vm_pgoff work as an offset in this array.

Note: this also allows to fix another problem: currently gdb can't access
"[vvar]" memory because in this case special_mapping_fault() doesn't work.
Now that we can use ->vm_pgoff we can implement ->access() and fix this.
