mm: remap ZERO_PAGE mappings

1/2

I think this is already in -mm (and can probably go
into 2.6.14). Included here for completeness.

Remap ZERO_PAGE ptes when remapping memory. This is currently just an
optimisation for MIPS, which is the only architecture with multiple
zero pages - it now retains the mapping it needs for good cache performance,
and as well do_wp_page is now able to always correctly detect and
optimise zero page COW faults.

This change is required in order to be able to detect whether a pte
points to a ZERO_PAGE using only its (pte, vaddr) pair.
