mm: rename walk_page_range_mm()

Browse Source 
Patch series "mm: perform guard region install/remove under VMA lock", v2.

There is no reason why can't perform guard region operations under the VMA
lock, as long we take proper precautions to ensure that we do so in a safe
manner.

This is fine, as VMA lock acquisition is always best-effort, so if we are
unable to do so, we can simply fall back to using the mmap read lock.

Doing so will reduce mmap lock contention for callers performing guard
region operations and help establish a precedent of trying to use the VMA
lock where possible.

As part of this change we perform a trivial rename of page walk functions
which bypass safety checks (i.e.  whether or not mm_walk_ops->install_pte
is specified) in order that we can keep naming consistent with the mm
walk.

This is because we need to expose a VMA-specific walk that still allows us
to install PTE entries.


This patch (of 2):

Make it clear we're referencing an unsafe variant of this function
explicitly.

This is laying the foundation for exposing more such functions and
maintaining a consistent naming scheme.

As a part of this change, rename check_ops_valid() to check_ops_safe() for
consistency.
