But lets also fix another unmap/remap bug before the cleanups...
This series doesn't depend on the previous mremap fixes.

special_mapping_fault() is absolutely broken. It seems it was always
wrong, but this didn't matter until vdso/vvar started to use more than
one page.

I am not sure about 1/3. As the changelog says the name is not very
accurate, and I do not really like the vma->fault != NULL check. But
I hope this can work, and we can change this helper later if needed.

Please review.

Oleg.
