Bhupesh Sharma 218564b164 arm64: mm: Remove MAX_USER_VA_BITS definition 
commit 9b31cf493f ("arm64: mm: Introduce MAX_USER_VA_BITS definition")
introduced the MAX_USER_VA_BITS definition, which was used to support
the arm64 mm use-cases where the user-space could use 52-bit virtual
addresses whereas the kernel-space would still could a maximum of 48-bit
virtual addressing.

But, now with commit b6d00d47e8 ("arm64: mm: Introduce 52-bit Kernel
VAs"), we removed the 52-bit user/48-bit kernel kconfig option and hence
there is no longer any scenario where user VA != kernel VA size
(even with CONFIG_ARM64_FORCE_52BIT enabled, the same is true).

Hence we can do away with the MAX_USER_VA_BITS macro as it is equal to
VA_BITS (maximum VA space size) in all possible use-cases. Note that
even though the 'vabits_actual' value would be 48 for arm64 hardware
which don't support LVA-8.2 extension (even when CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS_52
is enabled), VA_BITS would still be set to a value 52. Hence this change
would be safe in all possible VA address space combinations.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
