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.
