Subject: [PATCH] mm: ensure the uniformity of arguments passed to do_mmap(..)
Standardize the way of passing a value to @populate parameter of do_mmap(..)
as follow:
1. Caller must initialize the variable to 0, except it's clarified as
the name of the variable, 'unused'.
2. do_mmap(..) doesn't take care of its initialization.
This patch has a couple of changes that:
- callers initialize the variable to 0.
- remove the line of initialization inside do_mmap(..)
