Subject: [PATCH 5.1 010/155] mm/mprotect.c: fix compilation warning because of unused mm variable

[ Upstream commit 94393c78964c432917014e3a456fa15c3e78f741 ]

Since 0cbe3e26abe0 ("mm: update ptep_modify_prot_start/commit to take
vm_area_struct as arg") the only place that uses the local 'mm' variable
in change_pte_range() is the call to set_pte_at().

Many architectures define set_pte_at() as macro that does not use the 'mm'
parameter, which generates the following compilation warning:

 CC      mm/mprotect.o
mm/mprotect.c: In function 'change_pte_range':
mm/mprotect.c:42:20: warning: unused variable 'mm' [-Wunused-variable]
  struct mm_struct *mm = vma->vm_mm;
                    ^~

Fix it by passing vma->mm to set_pte_at() and dropping the local 'mm'
variable in change_pte_range().
