It's solidly in the "change XYZ to use vma iterator" chunk now.

Commit 0378c0a0e9e4 ("mm/mmap: remove preallocation from
do_mas_align_munmap()") is good, and commit 37598f5a9d8b ("mlock:
convert mlock to vma iterator") is bad.

Will bisect further, but adding Liam to the participants because it's
now narrowed down to his changes.
