From: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
We don't need to incur the overhead of checking whether the object is
pinned prior to changing its madvise. If the object is pinned, the
madvise will not take effect until it is unpinned and so we cannot free
the pages being pointed at by hardware. Marking a pinned object with
allocated pages as DONTNEED will not trigger any undue warnings. The check
is therefore superfluous, and by removing it we can remove a linear walk
over all the vma the object has.
