Currently COW of an XIP file is done by first bringing in a read-only
mapping, then retrying the fault and copying the page. It is much more
efficient to tell the fault handler that a COW is being attempted (by
passing in the pre-allocated page in the vm_fault structure), and allow
the handler to perform the COW operation itself.
The only minor complexity is that we need to lock against truncation until
the PTE has been established. We extend the scope of the i_mmap_mutex
in this case until the PTE has been established. This is parallel with
the holding of the page lock for the situation with pagecache files.
This allows us to get rid of the xip_sparse_page and __xip_unmap, which
is a nice reduction in code.
