Continuing discussion about commit 58b6e5e8f1ad ("hugetlbfs: fix memory
leak for resv_map") brought up the issue that inode->i_mapping may not
point to the address space embedded within the inode at inode eviction
time. The hugetlbfs truncate routine handles this by explicitly using
inode->i_data. However, code cleaning up the resv_map will still use
the address space pointed to by inode->i_mapping. Luckily, private_data
is NULL for address spaces in all such cases today but, there is no
guarantee this will continue.
Change all hugetlbfs code getting a resv_map pointer to explicitly get
it from the address space embedded within the inode. In addition, add
more comments in the code to indicate why this is being done.

Dose this patch have been applied?
I think it is better to add fixes label, like:
Fixes: 58b6e5e8f1ad ("hugetlbfs: fix memory leak for resv_map")
Since the commit 58b6e5e8f1a has been merged to stable, this patch also
be needed.
