[PATCH 4/7] HMM: Remove superflous RCU protection around radix tree lookup

[Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>]

hmm_devmem_find() requires rcu_read_lock_held() but there's nothing
which actually uses the RCU protection.  The only caller is
hmm_devmem_pages_create() which already grabs the mutex and does
superflous rcu_read_lock/unlock() around the function.

This doesn't add anything and just adds to confusion.  Remove the RCU
protection and open-code the radix tree lookup.  If this needs to
become more sophisticated in the future, let's add them back when
necessary.

Hello, JA(C)rA'me.

This came up while auditing percpu_ref users for missing explicit RCU
grace periods.  HMM doesn't seem to depend on RCU protection at all,
so I thought it'd be better to remove it for now.  It's only compile
tested.

Thanks.
