Yuanchu Xie 7bab8dfb12 mm: pagemap: restrict pagewalk to the requested range
The pagewalk in pagemap_read reads one PTE past the end of the requested
range, and stops when the buffer runs out of space. While it produces
the right result, the extra read is unnecessary and less performant.

I timed the following command before and after this patch:
	dd count=100000 if=/proc/self/pagemap of=/dev/null
The results are consistently within 0.001s across 5 runs.

Before:
100000+0 records in
100000+0 records out
51200000 bytes (51 MB) copied, 0.0763159 s, 671 MB/s

real    0m0.078s
user    0m0.012s
sys     0m0.065s

After:
100000+0 records in
100000+0 records out
51200000 bytes (51 MB) copied, 0.0487928 s, 1.0 GB/s

README

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.
