Subject: [PATCH 2/4] pagewalk: don't look up vma if walk->hugetlb_entry is
 unused

Currently, walk_page_range() call find_vma() every page table
walk iteration. but it's completely unnecessary if walk->hugetlb_entry
is unused. And we don't have to assume find_vma() is lightweight
operation. Thus this patch check walk->hugetlb_entry and avoid
find_vma() call if possible.

This patch also makes some cleanups. 1) remove ugly uninitialized_var()
and 2) #ifdef in function body.
