remap_pfn_range() means map physical address pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT to user addr.

For nommu arch it's implemented by vma->vm_start = pfn << PAGE_SHIFT which is
wrong acroding the original meaning of this function. And some driver
developer using remap_pfn_range() with correct parameter will get unexpected
result because vm_start is changed.
It should be implementd like addr = pfn << PAGE_SHIFT but which is meanless on
nommu arch, this patch just make it simply return.

Parameter name and setting of vma->vm_flags also be fixed.
