We will return NULL from filemap_getpage when a page does not exist in the
page cache and MAP_NONBLOCK is specified, here:

        page = find_get_page(mapping, pgoff);
        if (!page) {
                if (nonblock)
                        return NULL;
                goto no_cached_page;
        }

But we forget to do so when the page in the cache is not uptodate.  The
following could result in a blocking call:

        /*
         * Ok, found a page in the page cache, now we need to check
         * that it's up-to-date.
         */
        if (!PageUptodate(page))
                goto page_not_uptodate;
