Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] mm: make __access_remote_vm() static

access_remote_vm() passes through parameters to __access_remote_vm()
directly, so remove the __access_remote_vm() function from mm.h and use
access_remote_vm() in the one caller that needs it (ptrace_access_vm()).

This allows future adjustments to the GUP-internal __access_remote_vm()
function while keeping the access_remote_vm() function stable.
