[PATCH v2 1/4] mm/pagewalk: delete the unused member

[xu . xin]

From: Xu Xin <xu.xin@xxxxxxxxx>

The 'vma' member of struct folio_walk has never been used since it was
introduced by commit aa39ca6940f1a ("mm/pagewalk: introduce
folio_walk_start() + folio_walk_end()").

The VMA is always passed to folio_walk_start() as a separate argument,
and neither folio_walk_start() nor folio_walk_end() ever reads or writes
fw->vma. I audited all the current users of struct folio_walk (the
callers of folio_walk_start()) and none of them assign to or read the
member, so it is safe to remove.
