When inserting entry into xarray, we store mapping and index in
corresponding struct pages for memory error handling. When it happened
that one process was mapping file at PMD granularity while another
process at PTE granularity, we could wrongly deassociate PMD range and
then reassociate PTE range leaving the rest of struct pages in PMD range
without mapping information which could later cause missed notifications
about memory errors. Fix the problem by calling the association /
deassociation code if and only if we are really going to update the
xarray (deassociating and associating zero or empty entries is just
no-op so there's no reason to complicate the code with trying to avoid
the calls for these cases).
