For type checking and readability, I suggest using an enum instead of
"bool". Perhaps something like:

enum caller_origin {
	ON_BEHALF_OF_KERNEL = 0,
	ON_BEHALF_OF_USERSPACE,
};

 extern int do_vmi_munmap(struct vma_iterator *vmi, struct mm_struct *mm,
 			 unsigned long start, size_t len, struct list_head *uf,
-			 bool downgrade);
+			 bool downgrade, enum caller_origin called);
