[PATCH] mm: remove call to find_vma in pagewalk for non-hugetlbfs
Commit d33b9f45 introduces a check if a vma is a hugetlbfs one and
later in 5dc37642 is moved under #ifdef CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE but
a needless find_vma call is left behind and it's result not used
anywhere else in the function.

The sideefect of caching vma for @addr inside walk->mm is neither
utilized in walk_page_range() nor in called functions.
