drm/ttm: Correctly set page mapping and -index members
we started setting the page->mapping and page->index to point to the
virtual address space, if the pages were faulted with TTM. Apparently
this was needed for core-mm to able to reverse lookup the virtual
address given the struct page, and potentially unmap it from the page
tables. However as pointed out by Thomas, since we are now using
PFN_MAP, instead of say PFN_MIXED, this should no longer be the case.
There was also apparently some usecase in vmwgfx which needed this for
dirty tracking, but that also doesn't appear to be the case anymore, as
pointed out by Thomas.
We still need keep the page->mapping for now, since that is still needed
for different reasons, but we try to address that in the next patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
