mm: correct page_mapped_in_vma() for large folios
Patch series "Unify vma_address and vma_pgoff_address". The current vma_address() pretends that the ambiguity between head & tail page is an advantage. If you pass a head page to vma_address(), it will operate on all pages in the folio, while if you pass a tail page, it will operate on a single page. That's not what any of the callers actually want, so first convert all callers to use vma_pgoff_address() and then rename vma_pgoff_address() to vma_address(). This patch (of 3): If 'page' is the first page of a large folio then vma_address() will scan for any page in the entire folio. This can lead to page_mapped_in_vma() returning true if some of the tail pages are mapped and the head page is not. This could lead to memory failure choosing to kill a task unnecessarily.
