mm: drop support of non-linear mapping from fault codepath
We don't create non-linear mappings anymore. Let's drop code which handles them on page fault. Signed-off-by: Kirill A. Shutemov <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
