Subject: [PATCH v3 00/13] pagewalk: improve vma handling, apply to new users

This series is ver.3 of page table walker patchset.
In previous discussion I got an objection of moving pte handling code to
->pte_entry() callback, so in this version I've dropped all of such code.

The patchset mainly does fixing vma handling and applying page walker to
2 new users. Here is a brief overview:
  patch 1: clean up
  patch 2: fix bug-prone vma handling code
  patch 3: add another interface of page walker
  patch 4-10: clean up each of existing user
  patch 11: apply page walker to new user queue_pages_range()
  patch 12: allow clear_refs_pte_range() to handle thp (from Kirill)
  patch 13: apply page walker to new user do_mincore()

Thanks,
Naoya Horiguchi
