[PATCH v2] mm/damon: Remove redundant page validation

From: Baolin Wang
Date: Sun Jan 16 2022 - 21:34:47 EST


It will never get a NULL page by pte_page() as discussed in thread [1],
thus remove the redundant page validation to fix below Smatch static
checker warning.

mm/damon/vaddr.c:405 damon_hugetlb_mkold()
warn: 'page' can't be NULL.
