mm: fix possible cause of a page_mapped BUG

commit a3e8cc643d22d2c8ed36b9be7d9c9ca21efcf7f7 upstream.

Robert Swiecki reported a BUG_ON(page_mapped) from a fuzzer, punching
a hole with madvise(,, MADV_REMOVE).  That path is under mutex, and
cannot be explained by lack of serialization in unmap_mapping_range().

Reviewing the code, I found one place where vm_truncate_count handling
should have been updated, when I switched at the last minute from one
way of managing the restart_addr to another: mremap move changes the
virtual addresses, so it ought to adjust the restart_addr.

But rather than exporting the notion of restart_addr from memory.c, or
converting to restart_pgoff throughout, simply reset vm_truncate_count
to 0 to force a rescan if mremap move races with preempted truncation.

We have no confirmation that this fixes Robert's BUG,
but it is a fix that's worth making anyway.
