Subject: [PATCH v2 4/5] mm: Add zap_skip_check_mapping() helper

Use the helper for the checks. Rename "check_mapping" into "zap_mapping"
because "check_mapping" looks like a bool but in fact it stores the mapping
itself. When it's set, we check the mapping (it must be non-NULL). When it's
cleared we skip the check, which works like the old way.

Move the duplicated comments to the helper too.

Shouldn't this check still be
details->zap_mapping && details->zap_mapping != page_rmapping(page)?

Previously we wouldn't skip zapping pages if even_cows == true (ie.
details->check_mapping == NULL). With this change the check when
even_cows == true becomes NULL != page_rmapping(page). Doesn't this mean we
will now skip zapping any pages with a mapping when even_cows == true?

Yes I think so. Thanks for pointing that out, Alistair, I'll fix in v3.

But frankly I really think we should simply have that flag I used to introduce.
It'll make everything much clearer.

Yeah, I think a flag would also be fine.

I still don't see the need for a flag quite frankly. Just factor out the
checks we already have ... no change in behavior.
