Subject: [PATCH v3 06/13] pagemap: use walk->vma instead of calling find_vma()

Page table walker has the information of the current vma in mm_walk, so
we don't have to call find_vma() in each pagemap_hugetlb_range() call.

NULL-vma check is omitted because we assume that we never run hugetlb_entry()
callback on the address without vma. And even if it were broken, null pointer
dereference would be detected, so we can get enough information for debugging.
