Liam R. Howlett 408579cd62 mm: Update do_vmi_align_munmap() return semantics
Since do_vmi_align_munmap() will always honor the downgrade request on
the success, the callers no longer have to deal with confusing return
codes.  Since all callers that request downgrade actually want the lock
to be dropped, change the downgrade to an unlock request.

Note that the lock still needs to be held in read mode during the page
table clean up to avoid races with a map request.

Update do_vmi_align_munmap() to return 0 for success.  Clean up the
callers and comments to always expect the unlock to be honored on the
success path.  The error path will always leave the lock untouched.

As part of the cleanup, the wrapper function do_vmi_munmap() and callers
to the wrapper are also updated.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
