Fix sys_remap_file_pages BUG at highmem.c:15!

Browse Source 
Gurudas Pai reports kernel BUG at arch/i386/mm/highmem.c:15! below
sys_remap_file_pages, while running Oracle database test on x86 in 6GB
RAM: kunmap thinks we're in_interrupt because the preempt count has
wrapped.

That's because __do_fault expected to unmap page_table, but one of its
two callers do_nonlinear_fault already unmapped it: let do_linear_fault
unmap it first too, and then there's no need to pass the page_table arg
down.

Why have we been so slow to notice this? Probably through forgetting
that the mapping_cap_account_dirty test means that sys_remap_file_pages
nowadays only goes the full nonlinear vma route on a few memory-backed
filesystems like ramfs, tmpfs and hugetlbfs.

[ It also depends on CONFIG_HIGHPTE, so it becomes even harder to
  trigger in practice. Many who have need of large memory have probably
  migrated to x86-64..

  Problem introduced by commit d0217ac04c
  ("mm: fault feedback #1")                -- Linus ]
