Currently the only user of mmap_region() outside of the memory management
code is the MIPS VDSO implementation.

This uses mmap_region() to map a 'delay slot emulation page' at the top of
the stack which is read-only and executable.

This mapping requires that an already-acquired mmap write lock is utilised
and that uffd and populate logic is ignored. This rules out vm_mmap(),
however do_mmap() fits the bill.

Adapt this code to use do_mmap() and then once done, make mmap_region()
internal and userland testable, and avoid any other uses of mmap_region(),
which is absolutely and strictly an internal mm function which bypasses a
great number of checks and logic.

v1:
* Stripped RFC, as Thomas indicated that the approach seemed correct from MIPS
  side.
* Avoided whitespace error as pointed out by Matthew.
* Rebased on tip mm-unstable, as previously a conflict emerged after I submitted
  the patch (quite possibly one I caused :P).
