[PATCH] filemap_getpage can block when MAP_NONBLOCK specified

We will return NULL from filemap_getpage when a page does not exist in the
page cache and MAP_NONBLOCK is specified, here:

page = find_get_page(mapping, pgoff);
if (!page) {
if (nonblock)
return NULL;
goto no_cached_page;
}

But we forget to do so when the page in the cache is not uptodate.  The
following could result in a blocking call:

/*
 * Ok, found a page in the page cache, now we need to check
 * that it's up-to-date.
 */
if (!PageUptodate(page))
goto page_not_uptodate;
