mm/mmap: fix race in mmap_region() with ftruncate()

Avoiding the zeroing of the vma tree in mmap_region() introduced a race
with truncate in the page table walk.  To avoid any races, create a hole
in the rmap during the operation by clearing the pagetable entries earlier
under the mmap write lock and (critically) before the new vma is installed
into the vma tree.  The result is that the old vma(s) are left in the vma
tree, but free_pgtables() removes them from the rmap and clears the ptes
while holding the necessary locks.

This change extends the fix required for hugetblfs and the call_mmap()
function by moving the cleanup higher in the function and running it
unconditionally.
