mm/vma: do not leak memory when .mmap_prepare swaps the file
The current implementation of mmap() is set up such that a struct file
object is obtained for the input fd in ksys_mmap_pgoff() via fget(), and
its reference count decremented at the end of the function via. fput().
If a merge can be achieved, we are fine to simply decrement the refcount
on the file. Otherwise, in __mmap_new_file_vma(), we increment the
reference count on the file via get_file() such that the fput() in
ksys_mmap_pgoff() does not free the now-referenced file object.
The introduction of the f_op->mmap_prepare hook changes things, as it
becomes possible for a driver to replace the file object right at the
beginning of the mmap operation.
The current implementation is buggy if this happens because it
unconditionally calls get_file() on the mapping's file whether or not it
was replaced (and thus whether or not its reference count will be
decremented at the end of ksys_mmap_pgoff()).
This results in a memory leak, and was exposed in commit ab04945
("mm: update mem char driver to use mmap_prepare").
This patch solves the problem by explicitly tracking whether we actually
need to call get_file() on the file or not, and only doing so if required.
