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.
