When we care about pagecache maintenance, we need to make sure that both f_mapping and i_mapping point at the right mapping. But for iomem mappings we only care about the virtual/pte side of things, so f_mapping is enough. Also setting inode->i_mapping was confusing me as a driver maintainer, since in e.g. drivers/gpu we don't do that. Per Dan this seems to be copypasta from places which do care about pagecache consistency, but not needed. Hence remove it for slightly less confusion.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
