[PATCH] mm: fix xip issue with /dev/zero
Fix the bug, that reading into xip mapping from /dev/zero fills the user
page table with ZERO_PAGE() entries. Later on, xip cannot tell which pages
have been ZERO_PAGE() filled by access to a sparse mapping, and which ones
origin from /dev/zero. It will unmap ZERO_PAGE from all mappings when
filling the sparse hole with data. xip does now use its own zeroed page
for its sparse mappings. Please apply.
