remap_file_pages regression

Hi,

since remap_file_pages() rework the following simple program fails.
I haven't actually bisected this, only know it worked on 3.19 at least
(I bought a new system now and need 4.2+ for hardware support). If you
are curious, the program is an emulator and is using remap_file_pages()
to implement memory mirroring efficiently (and to remap things during
run time).
