Subject: [PATCH] mm: Fix access_remote_vm() regression on tagged addresses

GDB uses /proc/PID/mem to access memory of the target process. GDB
doesn't untag addresses manually, but relies on kernel to do the right
thing.

mem_rw() of procfs uses access_remote_vm() to get data from the target
process. It worked fine until recent changes in __access_remote_vm()
that now checks if there's VMA at target address using raw address.

Untag the address before looking up the VMA.
