sysfs: fix some bin_vm_ops errors
Commit 86c9508eb1c0ce5aa07b5cf1d36b60c54efc3d7a "sysfs: don't block indefinitely for unmapped files" in linux-next crashes the PowerMac G5 when X starts up. It's caught out by the way powerpc's pci_mmap of legacy_mem uses shmem_zero_setup(), substituting a new vma->vm_file whose private_data no longer points to the bin_buffer (substitution done because some versions of X crash if that mmap fails). The fix to this is straightforward: the original vm_file is fput() in that case, so this mmap won't block sysfs at all, so just don't switch over to bin_vm_ops if vm_file has changed. But more fixes made before realizing that was the problem:- It should not be an error if bin_page_mkwrite() finds no underlying page_mkwrite(). Check that a file already mmap'ed has the same underlying vm_ops _before_ pointing vma->vm_ops at bin_vm_ops. If the file being mmap'ed is a shmem/tmpfs file, don't fail the mmap on CONFIG_NUMA=y, just because that has a set_policy and get_policy: provide bin_set_policy, bin_get_policy and bin_migrate.
