Fix this by taking the mapping offset into account.

The page-fault handler at [1] use vm_fault.pgoff to retrieve the page
structure. Can we do the same here and avoid that computation?
Yes, thanks for the suggestion.

It will change things a bit: offset will not be the exact value anymore,
but will be rounded down to multiple of PAGE_SIZE. But that doesn't matter,
because it will only be used to calculate the page offset later on.

We can clean this up and rename this "offset" to "pg_offset". But that's
for another day.
But can't we use struct vm_fault.pgoff directly? The page-fault handler 
has used it since forever. The look-up code for the pageref should 
probably do the same, because there's a 1:1 connection between the page 
and the pageref. The pageref structure only exists because we cannot 
store its data in struct page directly.
AFAICT pgoff is exactly the value want to compute. See [1] and  the 
calculation at [2].
