Lorenzo Stoakes 54c58a2f5f mm: add vma_desc_size(), vma_desc_pages() helpers
It's useful to be able to determine the size of a VMA descriptor range
used on f_op->mmap_prepare, expressed both in bytes and pages, so add
helpers for both and update code that could make use of it to do so.

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 reStructuredText 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.
