zap_page_range was originally designed to unmap pages within an address
range that could span multiple vmas.  While working on [1], it was
discovered that all callers of zap_page_range pass a range entirely within
a single vma.  In addition, the mmu notification call within zap_page
range does not correctly handle ranges that span multiple vmas as calls
should be vma specific.

Instead of fixing zap_page_range, change all callers to use the new
routine zap_vma_page_range.  zap_vma_page_range is just a wrapper around
zap_page_range_single passing in NULL zap details.  The name is also
more in line with other exported routines that operate within a vma.
We can then remove zap_page_range.

Also, change madvise_dontneed_single_vma to use this new routine.
