mm: kill vma flag VM_CAN_NONLINEAR
Move actual pte filling for non-linear file mappings into the new special
vma operation: ->remap_pages().
Filesystems must implement this method to get non-linear mapping support,
if it uses filemap_fault() then generic_file_remap_pages() can be used.
Now device drivers can implement this method and obtain nonlinear vma support.
