Qing Wang e39bb9e02b tracing: Fix WARN_ON in tracing_buffers_mmap_close
When a process forks, the child process copies the parent's VMAs but the
user_mapped reference count is not incremented. As a result, when both the
parent and child processes exit, tracing_buffers_mmap_close() is called
twice. On the second call, user_mapped is already 0, causing the function to
return -ENODEV and triggering a WARN_ON.

Normally, this isn't an issue as the memory is mapped with VM_DONTCOPY set.
But this is only a hint, and the application can call
madvise(MADVISE_DOFORK) which resets the VM_DONTCOPY flag. When the
application does that, it can trigger this issue on fork.

Fix it by incrementing the user_mapped reference count without re-mapping
the pages in the VMA's open callback.
