Yes, I have reports of this going back several releases and I started trying to figure
out what causes this.

I suspect there is something that runs during exit_mmap() that indirectly faults in
new pages, and that's how the rss-counter ends up being non-zero at the end of
exit_mmap().

I'll let you know if I figure out exactly what the problem is.
