[PATCH] mm/vma: small VMA lock cleanups

From: Lorenzo Stoakes

Date: Fri Oct 24 2025 - 05:12:47 EST


We declare vma_start_read() as a static function in mm/mmap_lock.c, so
there is no need to provide a stub for !CONFIG_PER_VMA_LOCK.

__is_vma_write_locked() is declared in a header and should therefore be static
inline.

Put parens around (refcnt & VMA_LOCK_OFFSET) in is_vma_writer_only() to make
precedence clear.
