drm/ttm: stop setting page->index for the ttm_tt

    drm/ttm: Correctly set page mapping and -index members

we started setting the page->mapping and page->index to point to the
virtual address space, if the pages were faulted with TTM. Apparently
this was needed for core-mm to able to reverse lookup the virtual
address given the struct page, and potentially unmap it from the page
tables. However as pointed out by Thomas, since we are now using
PFN_MAP, instead of say PFN_MIXED, this should no longer be the case.

There was also apparently some usecase in vmwgfx which needed this for
dirty tracking, but that also doesn't appear to be the case anymore, as
pointed out by Thomas.

We still need keep the page->mapping for now, since that is still needed
for different reasons, but we try to address that in the next patch.
