[PATCH] get_user_pages: kill get_page_map
Since its birth, get_user_pages has been calling a misguided get_page_map function. follow_page has already returned NULL if the pfn is invalid, we cannot reach an invalid pfn from a validated struct page. Remove get_page_map, and the messy rewind in get_user_pages to cope with its failure. Oh, and could we please call that "struct page *page" like everywhere else, instead of "struct page *map"?
