Move from the deprecated mmap hook to the new mmap_prepare hook.
We are mapping kernel pages here, so use the discontiguous kernel mapping
mmap action to do so.
Unwind the rather confusing loop and instead map as many pages as we can at
one time.
Note that we do not need to pay attention to rsv_schp->k_use_sg here, as
the pages are populated for the length of the buffer at
rsv_schp->page_order granularity as compound pages.
The discontiguous kernel page mapping logic handles the compound pages for
us.
sfp->mmap_called keeps the buffer stable for us. As before it is never
cleared, so a failed mmap also leaves it set.
We also remove some useless vma, vma->vm_file NULL checks - these will
always be non-NULL if you reached the mmap hook logic.
We retain log output for consistency, but change what's output on page
mapping to indicate that sg_discontig_get() does the work now.
Note that we drop the VMA_IO_BIT flag for the VMA here. It was never
necessary as we invoke alloc_pages() which gives us refcounted folios that
are fine for GUP to access (VMA_IO_BIT would prevent that).
