Subject: mm: pagewalk: allow walking without vma

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.
