Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] mm: call vm_munmap in munmap syscall instead of using open coded version

The commit dc0ef0df7b6a (mm: make mmap_sem for write waits killable for mm
syscalls) replaced call to vm_munmap in munmap syscall with open coded
version to allow different waits on mmap_sem in munmap syscall and
vm_munmap. Now both functions use down_write_killable, so we can restore
the call to vm_munmap from the munmap system call.
