This BUILD_BUG_ON() doesn't make sense any more since compiler usually can't
prove anything about extern variable.

Drop it or change to VM_BUG_ON() or something.

fault_around_pages() and fault_around_mask() should be moved outside of
#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_FS and consolidated since they are practically identical
both branches after the changes.

Way too many parentheses.
