Subject: IB/mlx4: Change vma from shared to private

From: Maor Gottlieb <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit ca37a664a8e4e9988b220988ceb4d79e3316f195 ]

Anonymous VMA (->vm_ops == NULL) cannot be shared, otherwise it would lead to SIGBUS.

Remove the shared flags from the vma after we change it to be anonymous.

This is easily reproduced by doing modprobe -r while running a user-space application such as raw_ethernet_bw.
