mm rmap: remove vma_address check for address inside vma
In file and anon rmap, we use interval trees to find potentially relevant vmas and then call vma_address() to find the virtual address the given page might be found at in these vmas. vma_address() used to include a check that the returned address falls within the limits of the vma, but this check isn't necessary now that we always use interval trees in rmap: the interval tree just doesn't return any vmas which this check would find to be irrelevant. As a result, we can replace the use of -EFAULT error code (which then needed to be checked in every call site) with a VM_BUG_ON().
