Anshuman Khandual 3122e80efc mm/vma: make vma_is_accessible() available for general use
Lets move vma_is_accessible() helper to include/linux/mm.h which makes it
available for general use.  While here, this replaces all remaining open
encodings for VMA access check with vma_is_accessible().

README

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.
