Introduce the labels walk_done and walk_done_err as exit points to
eliminate duplicated exit code in the pagewalk loop.

Hi Barry and David,

Thanks for taking time to review!

I don't think "return false" necessarily indicates an error, so
"walk_done_err" doesn't seem like an appropriate name.
However, this is a minor issue.

Agreed. As we only have a single walk_done user, should we instead
remove "walk_done", keep the "page_vma_mapped_walk_done" for that single
user, and rename "walk_done_err" to "abort_walk" ?

Yeah, I agree that 'abort_walk' is better than 'walk_done_err', and let's
keep 'page_vma_mapped_walk_done' for that single user ;)

I just realized that there is another walk_done user, which is
unmap_huge_pmd_locked().

Could I keep "walk_done" but rename it to "done_walk"?

Sure. "walk_done"/"walk_abort" might sound better.
