Subject: mm: madvise: use walk_page_range_vma() instead of walk_page_range()

We've already found the VMA within madvise_walk_vmas() before calling
specific madvise behavior functions like madvise_free_single_vma().  So
calling walk_page_range() and doing find_vma() again seems unnecessary. 
It also prevents potential optimizations in those madvise callbacks,
particularly the use of dedicated per-VMA locking.

[v-songbaohua@oppo.com: revert the walk_page_range_vma change for MADV_GUARD_INSTALL]
