We don't need to incur the overhead of checking whether the object is pinned prior to changing its madvise. If the object is pinned, the madvise will not take effect until it is unpinned and so we cannot free the pages being pointed at by hardware. Marking a pinned object with allocated pages as DONTNEED will not trigger any undue warnings. The check is therefore superfluous, and by removing it we can remove a linear walk over all the vma the object has. Still despite it being an overzealous check, that error code is part of the current ABI and so we must proceed with caution.
