Subject: [PATCH] thp: Remove unused vma parameter from khugepaged_alloc_page

The "vma" parameter to khugepaged_alloc_page() is unused.
It has to remain unused or the drop read lock 'map_sem' optimisation
introduce by commit 8b1645685acf ("thp: introduce khugepaged_prealloc_page
and khugepaged_alloc_page") wouldn't be possible. So let's remove it.
