Kefeng Wang 8fb1ad47dc mm: mincore: use walk_page_range_vma() in do_mincore()
Patch series "mm: convert to walk_page_range_vma() to eliminate
find_vma()", v2.

walk_page_range() performs a find_vma() lookup on each page table walk. 
For callers that already hold a valid VMA and operate on a known
single-VMA range, this lookup is redundant.  Replace walk_page_range()
with walk_page_range_vma() where the caller guarantees single-VMA
semantics.


This patch (of 4):

do_mincore() uses walk_page_range() to walk the page table.  Fortunately,
the caller always passes start/end that falls within a single VMA, so it's
safe to use the walk_page_range_vma() in do_mincore() to eliminate an
unnecessary find_vma() lookup.

Unlike walk_page_range(), walk_page_range_vma() does not call
walk_page_test(), which handles VM_PFNMAP by invoking ->pte_hole() to skip
the page table walk.  Without this check, PFNMAP PTEs would be treated as
present by mincore_pte_range(), changing the returned residency status. 
Handle VM_PFNMAP explicitly in do_mincore() to preserve the original
behavior.
