XIP has a race between sparse pages being inserted into page tables, and
sparse pages being zapped when its time to put a non-sparse page in.

What can happen is that a process can be left with a dangling sparse page
in a MAP_SHARED mapping, while the rest of the world sees the non-sparse
version.  Ie.  data corruption.

Guard these operations with a seqlock, making fault-in-sparse-pages the
slowpath, and try-to-unmap-sparse-pages the fastpath.
