More details about current issue (which breaks the mbind() API definition):
1. In queue_pages_test_walk()
checking on (!vma->vm_next && vma->vm_end < end) would never success, 
because 'end' passed from walk_page_test() make sure "end <=  vma->vm_end". so hole 
beyond the last vma can't be detected. 

2. queue_pages_test_walk() only called for vma, and 'start', 'end' parameters are guaranteed
within vma. Then, if the range starting or ending in an unmapped hole,  
queue_pages_test_walk() don't have chance to be called to check. In other words, the 
current code can detect this case (range span over hole):
[  vma  ][ hole ][ vma]
   [     range      ]
but cant not detect these case :
[  vma  ][ hole ][ vma]
   [  range  ]
[  vma  ][ hole ][  vma  ]
            [  range  ]

3. a checking in mbind_range() try to recover if the hole is in head side, but can't 
recover if hole is in tail side of range.
