Above two functions were defined in internal.h in v8[1], but moved to mmap.c in
this version. As mmap.c is compiled when CONFIG_MMU, build fails when the
config is not set as below:

.../mm/nommu.c: In function 'add_vma_to_mm':
.../mm/nommu.c:575:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'vma_mas_store'; did you mean 'mas_store'? [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
575 | vma_mas_store(vma, &mas);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
| mas_store
.../mm/nommu.c: In function 'delete_vma_from_mm':
.../mm/nommu.c:599:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'vma_mas_remove' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
599 | vma_mas_remove(vma, &mas);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Was there a reason to move these definitions? I confirmed moving the
definition back to internal.h fixes this issue, but I'm unsure if that's the
right solution.
