VM, x86, PAT: Change is_linear_pfn_mapping to not use vm_pgoff 

Impact: fix false positive PAT warnings - also fix VirtalBox hang

Use of vma->vm_pgoff to identify the pfnmaps that are fully
mapped at mmap time is broken. vm_pgoff is set by generic mmap
code even for cases where drivers are setting up the mappings
at the fault time.

The problem was originally reported here:

 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123383810628583&w=2

Change is_linear_pfn_mapping logic to overload VM_INSERTPAGE
flag along with VM_PFNMAP to mean full PFNMAP setup at mmap
time.

Problem also tracked at:
