mm: special mapping nopage

Convert special mapping install from nopage to fault.

Because the "vm_file" is NULL for the special mapping, the generic VM
code has messed up "vm_pgoff" thinking that it's an anonymous mapping
and the offset does't matter.  For that reason, we need to undo the
vm_pgoff offset that got added into vmf->pgoff.

[ We _really_ should clean that up - either by making this whole special
  mapping code just use a real file entry rather than that ugly array of
  "struct page" pointers, or by just making the VM code realize that
  even if vm_file is NULL it may not be a regular anonymous mmap.
