Subject: [PATCH] staging: ashmem: Fix SIGBUS crash when traversing mmaped ashmem pages

Amit Pundir and Youling in parallel reported crashes with recent
mainline kernels running Android:

F DEBUG   : *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***

...

This was bisected back to commit bfd40eaff5ab ("mm: fix vma_is_anonymous()
false-positives").

create_mspace_with_base() in the trace above, utilizes ashmem, and
with ashmem, for shared mappings we use shmem_zero_setup(), which sets
the vma->vm_ops to &shmem_vm_ops. But for private ashmem mappings
nothing sets the vma->vm_ops.

Looking at the problematic patch, it seems to add a requirement that
one call vma_set_anonymous() on a vma, otherwise the dummy_vm_ops will
be used. Using the dummy_vm_ops seem to triggger SIGBUS when traversing
unmapped pages.

Thus, this patch adds a call to vma_set_anonymous() for ashmem private
mappings and seems to avoid the reported problem.

Hopefully my explanation make sense here. Please let me know if it
needs corrections.
