mm/mm_slot.h: add a helper function mm_slot_remove

Patch series "Two small patches to clean up mm/mm_slot.h", v3.

mm_slot.h is mainly used by THP and KSM.

Patch 1 introduces mm_slot_remove() to abstract the common
hash_del() + list_del() sequence used in both khugepaged and KSM.

Patch 2 adds a comment explaining why mm_slot_lookup/insert cannot
be converted to static inline functions.


This patch (of 2):

Both THP and KSM manage per-mm scanning slots using the mm_slot structure.
The slot is kept in a hash table and a list, and removal from both
containers requires the same two operations: hash_del() and list_del().

Introduce mm_slot_remove() to abstract the common hash_del() + list_del()
sequence used in both khugepaged and KSM.

No functional change is intended.
