Subject: [PATCH v2 06/32] mm/page_vma_mapped: delete bogosity in

Revert commit a7a69d8ba88d ("mm/thp: another PVMW_SYNC fix in
page_vma_mapped_walk()"): I was proud of that "Aha!" commit at the time,
but in revisiting page_vma_mapped_walk() for pte_offset_map() failure,
that block raised a doubt: and it now seems utterly bogus.  The prior
map_pte() has taken ptl unconditionally when PVMW_SYNC: I must have
forgotten that when making the change.  It did no harm, but could not
have fixed a BUG or WARN, and is hard to reconcile with coming changes.
