fs/proc/task_mmu.c: fix buffer overflow in add_page_map()

Browse Source 
Recently we met quite a lot of random kernel panic issues after enabling
CONFIG_PROC_PAGE_MONITOR.  After debuggind we found this has something
to do with following bug in pagemap:

In struct pagemapread:

  struct pagemapread {
      int pos, len;
      pagemap_entry_t *buffer;
      bool v2;
  };

pos is number of PM_ENTRY_BYTES in buffer, but len is the size of
buffer, it is a mistake to compare pos and len in add_page_map() for
checking buffer is full or not, and this can lead to buffer overflow and
random kernel panic issue.

Correct len to be total number of PM_ENTRY_BYTES in buffer.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: document pagemapread.pos and .len units, fix PM_ENTRY_BYTES definition]
