mm/filemap: fix filemap_map_pages for THP


We dereference page->mapping and page->index directly after calling
find_subpage() and these fields are not valid for tail pages.  While
commit 4101196b ("mm: page cache: store only head pages in i_pages")
introduced the call to find_subpage(), the problem existed prior to this;
I'm going to suggest all the way back to when THPs first existed.

The user-visible effects of this are almost negligible.  To hit it, you
have to mmap a tmpfs file at an unaligned address and then it's only a
disabled optimisation causing page faults to happen more frequently than
they otherwise would.

Fix this by keeping both head and page pointers and checking the
appropriate one.  We could use page_mapping() and page_to_index(), but
that's higher overhead.
