Subject: [PATCH 27/28] AFS: Implement shared-writable mmap [try #2]

Implement shared-writable mmap for AFS.

The key with which to access the file is obtained from the VMA at the point
where the PTE is made writable by the page_mkwrite() VMA op and cached in the
affected page.

If there's an outstanding write on the page made with a different key, then
page_mkwrite() will flush it before attaching a record of the new key.
