The mmap lock protects the page walker from changes to the page tables during the walk. However a read lock is insufficient to protect those areas which don't have a VMA as munmap() detaches the VMAs before downgrading to a read lock and actually tearing down PTEs/page tables. For users of walk_page_range() the solution is to simply call pte_hole() immediately without checking the actual page tables when a VMA is not present. We now never call __walk_page_range() without a valid vma. For walk_page_range_novma() the locking requirements are tightened to require the mmap write lock to be taken, and then walking the pgd directly with 'no_vma' set. This in turn means that all page walkers either have a valid vma, or it's that special 'novma' case for page table debugging. As a result, all the odd '(!walk->vma && !walk->no_vma)' tests can be removed.
