From: HATAYAMA Daisuke <d.hatayama@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: procfs: Call default get_unmapped_area on MMU-present architectures

c4fe24485729f ("sparc: fix PCI device proc file mmap(2)") added
proc_reg_get_unmapped_area in proc_reg_file_ops and
proc_reg_file_ops_no_compat, by which now mmap always returns EIO if
get_unmapped_area method is not defined for the target procfs file, which
causes regression of mmap on /proc/vmcore.

To address this issue, like get_unmapped_area(), call default
current->mm->get_unmapped_area on MMU-present architectures if
pde->proc_fops->get_unmapped_area, i.e.  the one in actual file operation
in the procfs file, is not defined.
