This reverts commit f00cdc6df7d7cfcabb5b740911e6788cb0802bdb.
(a) It was buggy: Sasha sent a lockdep report to remind us that grabbing
i_mutex in the fault path is a no-no (write syscall may already hold
i_mutex while faulting user buffer), no matter that the patch took care
to drop mmap_sem first.
(b) It may be thought too elaborate: see the diffstat.
(c) Vlastimil proposed a preferred approach, better for backporting to
v3.1..v3.4, which had madvise hole-punch support before the fallocate
infrastructure used in that commit - backporting being required once
the issue fixed was tagged with CVE-2014-4171.
(d) Hugh noticed a further pessimization fix needed in the same area.
