Subject: [PATCH] drm/shmem-helper: Avoid vm_open error paths

vm_open() is not allowed to fail. Fortunately we are guaranteed that the pages are already pinned, thanks to the initial mmap which is now being cloned into a forked process, and only need to increment the refcnt. So just increment it directly. Previously if a signal was delivered at the wrong time to the forking process, the mutex_lock_interruptible() could fail resulting in the pages_use_count not being incremented.
