I think the problem is because of improper offset address calculation.
The kernel calculate address offset with:
	offset = vmf->address - vmf->vma->vm_start

Now the problem is that your C program mmap the framebuffer at 2
different offsets:
	mmap(ptr, 4096, PROT_WRITE, MAP_FIXED | MAP_SHARED, fd, 0xff000);
	mmap(ptr, 4096, PROT_WRITE, MAP_FIXED | MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);

but the kernel doesn't take these different offsets into account.
So, 2 different pages are mistakenly recognized as the same page.

Can you try the following patch?

Best regards,
Nam
