Note that the current VMA_ITERATOR takes a new type and not the mm.

Since I am removing the linked list (mm->mmap and vma->vm_next), then
the build will fail if this patch and the maple tree branch exist
together. The iterator may also not start at the start of the list (but
usually does) and may not run through the entire list; see
vma_for_each_range() in the patch set.

Once the maple tree is upstream, then you can take the patch I posted.
I think this is a situation that Linus could take the fixup?

Thanks,
Liam
