commit 1c90308e7a77af6742a97d1021cca923b23b7f0d upstream.

This patch makes pagemap readable for normal users and hides physical
addresses from them.  For some use-cases PFN isn't required at all.

[bwh: Backported to 3.2:
 - Add the same check in the places where we look up a PFN
 - Add struct pagemapread * parameters where necessary
 - Open-code file_ns_capable()
 - Delete pagemap_open() entirely, as it would always return 0]
