Many places in the kernel use find_vma() to get a vma and then check the
start address of the vma to ensure the next vma was not returned.

Other places use the find_vma_intersection() call with add, addr + 1 as
the range; looking for just the vma at a specific address.

The third use of find_vma() is by developers who do not know that the
function starts searching at the provided address upwards for the next
vma. This results in a bug that is often overlooked for a long time.

Adding the new vma_lookup() function will allow for cleaner code by
removing the find_vma() calls which check limits, making
find_vma_intersection() calls of a single address to be shorter, and
potentially reduce the incorrect uses of find_vma().

This patch set was originally part of the maple tree patch set.

FWIW, for the whole series:

Changes since being broken out on its own:
- Changed initial implementation of vma_lookup() to use find_vma() as requested
by Michel Lespinasse.
- Updated commit comments to be more descriptive

These patches are based on next-20210506
