And this one is fine too, thanks.  I don't know whether it saves anything
(ah yes, with args in registers not on the stack, should save a little),
but it's helpful to limit the scope of those indices.

You may wonder how they came to be in zap_details: that dates from the
days of remap_file_pages(): nonlinear vmas, in which the zapper needed
to check each pte_file()'s offset against first and last index, to
decide whether to zap or not.  They should have been removed in 4.0.
