mm: remove zap_page_range and create zap_vma_pages
zap_page_range was originally designed to unmap pages within an address
range that could span multiple vmas. While working on [1], it was
discovered that all callers of zap_page_range pass a range entirely within
a single vma. In addition, the mmu notification call within zap_page
range does not correctly handle ranges that span multiple vmas. When
crossing a vma boundary, a new mmu_notifier_range_init/end call pair with
the new vma should be made.
Instead of fixing zap_page_range, do the following:
- Create a new routine zap_vma_pages() that will remove all pages within
the passed vma. Most users of zap_page_range pass the entire vma and
can use this new routine.
- For callers of zap_page_range not passing the entire vma, instead call
zap_page_range_single().
- Remove zap_page_range.
