fs/proc/task_mmu.c: make the task_mmu walk_page_range() limit in clear_refs_write() obvious
Trying to walk all of virtual memory requires architecture specific
knowledge. On x86_64, addresses must be sign extended from bit 48,
whereas on arm64 the top VA_BITS of address space have their own set of
page tables.
clear_refs_write() calls walk_page_range() on the range 0 to ~0UL, it
provides a test_walk() callback that only expects to be walking over
VMAs. Currently walk_pmd_range() will skip memory regions that don't
have a VMA, reporting them as a hole.
As this call only expects to walk user address space, make it walk 0 to
'highest_vm_end'.
