From: Alistair Popple <apopple@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: remove the vma check in migrate_vma_setup()
migrate_vma_setup() checks that a valid vma is passed so that the page
tables can be walked to find the pfns associated with a given address
range. However in some cases the pfns are already known, such as when
migrating device coherent pages during pin_user_pages() meaning a valid
vma isn't required.
