Resending due to incomplete subject.

Changes since v2:

  - Fixed incorrect commit message

The "vma" parameter to khugepaged_alloc_page() is unused.
It has to remain unused or the drop read lock 'map_sem' optimisation
introduce by commit 8b1645685acf ("mm, THP: don't hold mmap_sem in
khugepaged when allocating THP") wouldn't be safe. So let's remove it.

Pretty sure the compiler inlines it away anyway, but sure, why not.
