IIRC, vma_lookup() was introduced fairly recently. Before that, this
additional check was open coded (and still are in some instances). It's
confusing, I agree.

Sure, please go ahead and apply independently. It'd be great if you
could give it a quick sanity test, although I don't expect surprises --
unfortunately, the environment I have easily at hand is not very well
suited (#cpu, #mem, #disk ...) for anything that exceeds basic compile
tests (and even cross-compiling is significantly faster ...).
