mm/gup: remove vmas parameter from get_user_pages_remote()
The only instances of get_user_pages_remote() invocations which used the vmas parameter were for a single page which can instead simply look up the VMA directly. In particular:- - __update_ref_ctr() looked up the VMA but did nothing with it so we simply remove it. - __access_remote_vm() was already using vma_lookup() when the original lookup failed so by doing the lookup directly this also de-duplicates the code. We are able to perform these VMA operations as we already hold the mmap_lock in order to be able to call get_user_pages_remote(). As part of this work we add get_user_page_vma_remote() which abstracts the VMA lookup, error handling and decrementing the page reference count should the VMA lookup fail. This forms part of a broader set of patches intended to eliminate the vmas parameter altogether.
