[PATCH 1/2] mm: remove redundant check in page_vma_mapped_walk

[Kemeng Shi]

For PVMW_SYNC case, we always take pte lock when get first pte of
PTE-mapped THP in map_pte and hold it until:
1. scan of pmd range finished or
2. scan of user input range finished or
3. user stop walk with page_vma_mapped_walk_done.
In each case. pte lock will not be freed during middle scan of PTE-mapped
THP.
