This changelog shows a complete misunderstanding of the code you're
changing.  page_has_private() has nothing to do with whether the file
is "a private mapping", whatever that means.  The test is whether the
filesystem has added private data to the page.

As Darrick said, this code has been completely rewritten in a current
kernel.  You should test with something recent.
