This patch-set fixes two issues found in PAT when mremap() is used on
a VM_PFNMAP range.

Patch 1/2 fixes an issue for mremap() with MREMAP_FIXED, which moves
a pfnmap from old vma to new vma.  untrack_pfn_moved() is added to
clear VM_PAT from old vma.

Patch 2/2 fixes an issue for mremap() with a shrinking map size.
The free_memtype() path is changed to support this mremap case in
addition to the regular munmap case. 

Note, using mremap() with an expanded map size is not a valid case
since VM_DONTEXPAND is set along with VM_PFNMAP.

v2:
 - Add an explicit call in the mremap code which clears the PAT flag.
   (Thomas Gleixner)
 - Add comment to explain how memtype_rb_match() is used for shrinking
   case. (Thomas Gleixner)
