Subject: [PATCH -mm v2 05/11] pagewalk: remove mm_walk->skip

Due to the relocation of pmd locking, mm_walk->skip becomes less important
because only walk_page_test() and walk->test_walk() use it. None of these
functions uses a positive value as a return value, so we can define it to
determine whether we skip the current vma or not.
Thus this patch removes mm_walk->skip.
