Subject: mm/vmalloc: remove the redundant boundary check
Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2022 18:59:56 +0800
In find_va_links(), when traversing the vmap_area tree, the comparing to
check if the passed in 'va' is above or below 'tmp_va' is redundant,
assuming both 'va' and 'tmp_va' has ->va_start <= ->va_end.
Here, to simplify the checking as code change.
