[snip]

I don't have the hardware to test this (the repro steps don't work and
manually running the test indicates the actual hardware is required) but I
suspect it's a result of i915_gem_mmap() somehow causing
mapping_unmap_writable() to be invoked, which sets mapping->i_mmap_writable
negative, and thus the check after call_mmap() is performed reports the error.

In v3 I will change this to continue to mark the file writable before
invoking call_mmap() which should fix this issue.
