rmap: remove anon_vma check in page_address_in_vma()

Browse Source 
Currently page_address_in_vma() compares vma->anon_vma and
page_anon_vma(page) for parameter check, but in 2.6.34 a vma can have
multiple anon_vmas with anon_vma_chain, so current check does not work.
(For anonymous page shared by multiple processes, some verified (page,vma)
pairs return -EFAULT wrongly.)

We can go to checking all anon_vmas in the "same_vma" chain, but it needs
to meet lock requirement.  Instead, we can remove anon_vma check safely
because page_address_in_vma() assumes that page and vma are already
checked to belong to the identical process.
