mm: make mmap_miss accounting symmetric for VM_SEQ_READ
do_sync_mmap_readahead() skips both the mmap_miss increment and the
MMAP_LOTSAMISS check for VM_SEQ_READ mappings, since sequential access is
non-speculative and should always read ahead. The two decrement sites in
do_async_mmap_readahead() and filemap_map_pages() do not mirror this skip,
so concurrent faults on a VM_SEQ_READ mapping can still drive
ra->mmap_miss down to zero through the decrement paths even though nothing
in the sync path ever increments it. The counter itself is per-file
(file->f_ra.mmap_miss), so it can be moved by any VMA mapping the file,
not just the one currently faulting.
Skip the decrement for VM_SEQ_READ in both decrement sites so the counter
only moves for mappings that also participate in the increment side. No
functional change for VM_SEQ_READ users, since the increment-side gate
already prevents the counter from being consulted on their behalf, but it
stops a VM_SEQ_READ mapping from biasing the counter for other mappings of
the same file.
