mm/vma: remove __vma_check_mmap_hook()
Commit
c50ca15dd496 ("mm: add vm_ops->mapped hook") introduced
__vma_check_mmap_hook() in order to assert that a driver doesn't
incorrectly implement both an f_op->mmap() and a vm_ops->mapped hook, the
latter of which would not ultimately get invoked.
However, this did not correctly account for stacked drivers (or drivers
that otherwise use the compatibility layer) which might recursively call
an mmap_prepare hook via the compatibility layer.
Thus the nested mmap_prepare() invocation might result in a VMA which has
vm_ops->mapped set with an overlaying mmap() hook, causing the
__vma_check_mmap_hook() to fail in vfs_mmap(), wrongly failing the
operation.
This patch resolves this by simply removing the check, as we can't be
certain that an mmap() hook doesn't at some point invoke the compatibility
layer, and it's not worth trying to track it.
