This commit breaks gntdev driver. If vma->vm_pgoff > 0, vm_map_pages
will:
 - use map->pages starting at vma->vm_pgoff instead of 0
 - verify map->count against vma_pages()+vma->vm_pgoff instead of just
   vma_pages().

In practice, this breaks using a single gntdev FD for mapping multiple
grants.

It looks like vm_map_pages() is not a good fit for this code and IMO it
should be reverted.
