Hmm. I think such refactoring when you want to skip some checks would
be done a bit differently... You would introduce a __do_vmi_munmap()
function which is called at the end of do_vmi_munmap() after the
checks and then call __do_vmi_munmap() directly wherever you want to
skip the checks. That would avoid code duplication. Any reason that
can't be done here?
