Since 48684a65b4e3: "mm: pagewalk: fix misbehavior of walk_page_range for vma(VM_PFNMAP)", page_table_walk() will report any kernel area as a hole, because it lacks a vma. This means each arch has re-implemented page table walking when needed, for example in the per-arch ptdump walker. Remove the requirement to have a vma except when trying to split huge pages.
