Or if another new stacking filesystem appears whose f_op->mmap just forwards
to lower_f_op->mmap - but thinking about it, in that scenario, my patch
would stop working, too.

At this point, I dislike both this patch and my own one because of their
lack of robustness. Well, at least e54ad7f1ee263ffa5a2de9c609d58dfa27b21cd9
should be solid. :/
