[PATCH] mm: pagewalk: call pte_hole() for VM_PFNMAP during walk_page_range

[Shiraz Hashim]

walk_page_range silently skips vma having VM_PFNMAP set,
which leads to undesirable behaviour at client end (who
called walk_page_range). For example for pagemap_read,
when no callbacks are called against VM_PFNMAP vma,
pagemap_read may prepare pagemap data for next virtual
address range at wrong index.
