mm/mmap.c: find_vma(): remove unnecessary if(mm) check
The "if (mm)" check is not required in find_vma, as the kernel code calls find_vma only when it is absolutely sure that the mm_struct arg to it is non-NULL. Remove the if(mm) check and adding the a WARN_ONCE(!mm) for now. This will serve the purpose of mandating that the execution context(user-mode/kernel-mode) be known before find_vma is called. Also fixed 2 checkpatch.pl errors in the declaration of the rb_node and vma_tmp local variables. I was browsing through the internet and read a discussion at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/27/342 which discusses removal of the validation check within find_vma. Since no-one responded, I decided to send this patch with Andrew's suggestions.
