[PATCH 3.16 055/131] mm: drop support of non-linear mapping from fault codepath

[Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>]

3.16.59-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>

commit 9b4bdd2ffab9557ac43af7dff02e7dab1c8c58bd upstream.

We don't create non-linear mappings anymore.  Let's drop code which
handles them on page fault.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
 - Deleted code is slightly different
 - Adjust context]
