As part of the struct page cleanups underway, we want to remove as much usage of page->mapping and page->index as possible, as frequently they are known from context. In the brd code, we're never actually reading from page->index except in assertions, so references to it can be safely deleted. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <redacted>
