SubjectRe: [PATCH] mremap: skip page table lookup for non-faulted anonymous VMAs

I actually thought of adding that (in fact fork has it and it's more
likely to be beneficial for fork than for mremap I suspect), but this
adds a branch to the fast path for a case that shouldn't normally
materialize. So I don't think it's worth adding it as I expect it to
add overhead in average.
