nommu: remove a superfluous check of vm_region::vm_usage
In split_vma(), there's no need to check if the VMA being split has a
region that's in use by more than one VMA because:
(1) The preceding test prohibits splitting of non-anonymous VMAs and regions
(eg: file or chardev backed VMAs).
(2) Anonymous regions can't be mapped multiple times because there's no handle
by which to refer to the already existing region.
(3) If a VMA has previously been split, then the region backing it has also
been split into two regions, each of usage 1.
