[RESEND PATCH v2] thp: Remove unused vma parameter from khugepaged_alloc_page

[Aaron Tomlin]

Resending due to incomplete subject.

Changes since v2:

 - Fixed incorrect commit message

The "vma" parameter to khugepaged_alloc_page() is unused.
It has to remain unused or the drop read lock 'map_sem' optimisation
introduce by commit 8b1645685acf ("mm, THP: don't hold mmap_sem in
khugepaged when allocating THP") wouldn't be safe. So let's remove it.
