Subject: [PATCH 2/4] mm: rename __mlock_vma_pages_range() to populate_vma_page_range()
__mlock_vma_pages_range() doesn't necessary mlock pages. It depends on
vma flags. The same codepath is used for MAP_POPULATE.
Let's rename __mlock_vma_pages_range() to populate_vma_page_range().
This patch also drops mlock_vma_pages_range() references from
documentation. It has gone in commit cea10a19b797.
