------------------------------------------------------
From: Liam Howlett <liam.howlett@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/memory.c: use vma_lookup() in __access_remote_vm()

Use vma_lookup() to find the VMA at a specific address.  As vma_lookup()
will return NULL if the address is not within any VMA, the start address
no longer needs to be validated.
