nommu: remove a superfluous check of vm_region::vm_usage 

In split_vma(), there's no need to check if the VMA being split has a
region that's in use by more than one VMA because:

 (1) The preceding test prohibits splitting of non-anonymous VMAs and regions
     (eg: file or chardev backed VMAs).

 (2) Anonymous regions can't be mapped multiple times because there's no handle
     by which to refer to the already existing region.

 (3) If a VMA has previously been split, then the region backing it has also
     been split into two regions, each of usage 1.
