    kernfs: fix false-positive WARN(nr_mmapped) in kernfs_drain_open_files
    
    [ Upstream commit 05d8f255867e3196565bb31a911a437697fab094 ]
    
    Prior to this change 'on->nr_mmapped' tracked the total number of
    mmaps across all of its associated open files via kernfs_fop_mmap().
    Thus if the file descriptor associated with a kernfs_open_file was
    mmapped 10 times then we would have: 'of->mmapped = true' and
    'of_on(of)->nr_mmapped = 10'.
    
    The problem is that closing or draining a 'of->mmapped' file would
    only decrement one from the 'of_on(of)->nr_mmapped' counter.
    
    For e.g. we have this from kernfs_unlink_open_file():
            if (of->mmapped)
                    on->nr_mmapped--;
    
    The WARN_ON_ONCE(on->nr_mmapped) in kernfs_drain_open_files() is
    easy to reproduce by:
    1. opening a (mmap-able) kernfs file.
    2. mmap-ing that file more than once (mapping just once masks the issue).
    3. trigger a drain of that kernfs file.
    
    Modulo out-of-tree patches I was able to trigger this reliably by
    identifying pci device nodes in sysfs that have resource regions
    that are mmap-able and that don't have any driver attached to them
    (steps 1 and 2). For step 3 we can "echo 1 > remove" to trigger a
    kernfs_drain.
