Linus Torvalds b5641a5d8b mm: don't do validate_mm() unnecessarily and without mmap locking
This is an addition to commit ae80b40419 ("mm: validate the mm before
dropping the mmap lock"), because it turns out there were two problems,
but lockdep just stopped complaining after finding the first one.

The do_vmi_align_munmap() function now drops the mmap lock after doing
the validate_mm() call, but it turns out that one of the callers then
immediately calls validate_mm() again.

That's both a bit silly, and now (again) happens without the mmap lock
held.

So just remove that validate_mm() call from the caller, but make sure to
not lose any coverage by doing that mm sanity checking in the error path
of do_vmi_align_munmap() too.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
