From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@xxxxxxx>
Subject: devm_memremap_release(): fix memremap'd addr handling

The pmem driver calls devm_memremap() to map a persistent memory range.
When the pmem driver is unloaded, this memremap'd range is not
released so the kernel will leak a vma.

Fix devm_memremap_release() to handle a given memremap'd address properly.
