[PATCH v3 06/14] mm, hugetlb: remove vma_has_reserves()

From: Joonsoo Kim
Date: Wed Dec 18 2013 - 01:57:12 EST


vma_has_reserves() can be substituted by using return value of
vma_needs_reservation(). If chg returned by vma_needs_reservation()
is 0, it means that vma has reserves. Otherwise, it means that vma don't
have reserves and need a hugepage outside of reserve pool. This definition
is perfectly same as vma_has_reserves(), so remove vma_has_reserves().
