Mike Kravetz f27a5136f7 hugetlbfs: always use address space in inode for resv_map pointer
Continuing discussion about 58b6e5e8f1 ("hugetlbfs: fix memory leak for
resv_map") brought up the issue that inode->i_mapping may not point to the
address space embedded within the inode at inode eviction time.  The
hugetlbfs truncate routine handles this by explicitly using inode->i_data.
However, code cleaning up the resv_map will still use the address space
pointed to by inode->i_mapping.  Luckily, private_data is NULL for address
spaces in all such cases today but, there is no guarantee this will
continue.

Change all hugetlbfs code getting a resv_map pointer to explicitly get it
from the address space embedded within the inode.  In addition, add more
comments in the code to indicate why this is being done.

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.
