Commit Message

No invocation of get_user_pages() uses the vmas parameter, so remove
it.

The GUP API is confusing and caveated. Recent changes have done much to
improve that, however there is more we can do. Exporting vmas is a prime
target as the caller has to be extremely careful to preclude their use
after the mmap_lock has expired or otherwise be left with dangling
pointers.

Removing the vmas parameter focuses the GUP functions upon their primary
purpose - pinning (and outputting) pages as well as performing the actions
implied by the input flags.

This is part of a patch series aiming to remove the vmas parameter
altogether.
