That's broken.  ->mmap() failure will fput(file), not fput(vma->vm_file).
What's more, _here_ your "corner case" is a huge DoS - open file r/o,
then have somebody else trigger copyup, then do tons of MAP_PRIVATE
mmaps on the r/o descriptor.  *EACH* *OF* *THEM* will open a separate
struct file and stash into into new vmas.
