Subject: mm: clean up vma_address_end()
Date: Thu, 06 Aug 2026 21:21:36 +0100

vma_address_end() is a confusing function with a lot of moving parts so
clean it up prior to extending it for anon page indexed mappings.

Const-ify some variables and establish pgoff_vma_start and pgoff_end
variables to clearly identify the page offset for the start of the VMA and
the end of the page offset range specified by the page walk.

This simplifies the function significantly and lays the groundwork for a
future change to update this function to account for anonymously page
indexed folios.

No functional change intended.
