Linus Torvalds fc8744adc8 Stop playing silly games with the VM_ACCOUNT flag
The mmap_region() code would temporarily set the VM_ACCOUNT flag for
anonymous shared mappings just to inform shmem_zero_setup() that it
should enable accounting for the resulting shm object.  It would then
clear the flag after calling ->mmap (for the /dev/zero case) or doing
shmem_zero_setup() (for the MAP_ANON case).

This just resulted in vma merge issues, but also made for just
unnecessary confusion.  Use the already-existing VM_NORESERVE flag for
this instead, and let shmem_{zero|file}_setup() just figure it out from
that.

This also happens to make it obvious that the new DRI2 GEM layer uses a
non-reserving backing store for its object allocation - which is quite
possibly not intentional.  But since I didn't want to change semantics
in this patch, I left it alone, and just updated the caller to use the
new flag semantics.
