You're right. And we should replace MM_VM_SIZE() too -- as you say,
nobody uses the (mm) argument because it's useless.
TASK_SIZE should be renamed to current_task_size(), because that's what
it actually does. MM_VM_SIZE(mm) should become MAX_TASK_SIZE, for much
the same reason.
Then perhaps we can also add thread_task_size(tsk) in case any of the
current users of MM_VM_SIZE() or the currently-broken users of TASK_SIZE
actually have access to the thread_info in question and really want the
real answer instead of MAX_TASK_SIZE.
