[PATCH 2/2] mm/mmap: Add inline munmap_vma_range() for code readability

From: Liam R. Howlett
Date: Tue Aug 18 2020 - 11:55:42 EST


There are two locations that have a block of code for munmapping a vma
range. Change those two locations to use a function and add meaningful
comments about what happens to the arguments, which was unclear in the
previous code.
