MPX setups private anonymous mapping, but uses vma->vm_ops too.
This can confuse core VM, as it relies on vm->vm_ops to distinguish
file VMAs from anonymous.
As result we will get SIGBUS, because handle_pte_fault() thinks it's
file VMA without vm_ops->fault and it doesn't know how to handle the
situation properly.
Let's fix that by not setting ->vm_ops.
We don't really need ->vm_ops here: MPX VMA can be detected with VM_MPX
flag. And vma_merge() will not merge MPX VMA with non-MPX VMA, because
->vm_flags won't match.
The only thing left is name of VMA. I'm not sure if it's part of ABI, or
we can just drop it. The patch keep it by providing arch_vma_name() on x86.
Build tested only.
