mm: do not assume file == vma->vm_file in compat_vma_mmap_prepare()

Browse Source 
In commit bb666b7c27 ("mm: add mmap_prepare() compatibility layer for
nested file systems") we introduced the ability for stacked drivers and
file systems to correctly invoke the f_op->mmap_prepare() handler from an
f_op->mmap() handler via a compatibility layer implemented in
compat_vma_mmap_prepare().

This populates vm_area_desc fields according to those found in the (not
yet fully initialised) VMA passed to f_op->mmap().

However this function implicitly assumes that the struct file which we are
operating upon is equal to vma->vm_file.  This is not a safe assumption in
all cases.

The only really sane situation in which this matters would be something
like e.g.  i915_gem_dmabuf_mmap() which invokes vfs_mmap() against
obj->base.filp:

	ret = vfs_mmap(obj->base.filp, vma);
	if (ret)
		return ret;

And then sets the VMA's file to this, should the mmap operation succeed:

	vma_set_file(vma, obj->base.filp);

That is - it is the file that is intended to back the VMA mapping.

This is not an issue currently, as so far we have only implemented
f_op->mmap_prepare() handlers for some file systems and internal mm uses,
and the only stacked f_op->mmap() operations that can be performed upon
these are those in backing_file_mmap() and coda_file_mmap(), both of which
use vma->vm_file.

However, moving forward, as we convert drivers to using
f_op->mmap_prepare(), this will become a problem.

Resolve this issue by explicitly setting desc->file to the provided file
parameter and update callers accordingly.

Callers are expected to read desc->file and update desc->vm_file - the
former will be the file provided by the caller (if stacked, this may
differ from vma->vm_file).

If the caller needs to differentiate between the two they therefore now
can.

While we are here, also provide a variant of compat_vma_mmap_prepare()
that operates against a pointer to any file_operations struct and does not
assume that the file_operations struct we are interested in is file->f_op.

This function is __compat_vma_mmap_prepare() and we invoke it from
compat_vma_mmap_prepare() so that we share code between the two functions.

This is important, because some drivers provide hooks in a separate
struct, for instance struct drm_device provides an fops field for this
purpose.

Also update the VMA selftests accordingly.
