[PATCH v3] mm: simplify find_vma_prev

[kosaki . motohiro]

From: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 297c5eee37 (mm: make the vma list be doubly linked) added
vm_prev member into vm_area_struct. Therefore we can simplify
find_vma_prev() by using it. Also, this change help to improve
page fault performance because it has strong locality of reference.
