    vm: remove 'nr_accounted' calculations from the unmap_vmas() interfaces · 4f74d2c8

    The VM accounting makes no sense at this level, and half of the callers
    didn't ever actually use the end result.  The only time we want to
    unaccount the memory is when we actually remove the vma, so do the
    accounting at that point instead.
    
    This simplifies the interfaces (no need to pass down that silly page
    counter to functions that really don't care), and also makes it much
    more obvious what is actually going on: we do vm_[un]acct_memory() when
    adding or removing the vma, not on random page walking.
