Rename the parameter in mnt_get_write_access() from "m" to "mnt" for
consistency between declaration and implementation.

Signed-off-by: Zizhi Wo <wozizhi@xxxxxxxxxx>

I'm sorry but this is just a pointless churn. I agree the declaration and
implementation should better be consistent (although in this particular
case it isn't too worrying) but it's much easier (and with much lower
chance to cause conflicts) to just fixup the declaration.

Yes, I had considered simply fixing the declaration earlier. However, in
the include/linux/mount.h file, similar functions like
"mnt_put_write_access" use "mnt" as the parameter name rather than "m",
just like "mnt_get_write_access". So I chose to modify the function
implementation directly, although this resulted in a larger amount of
changes. So as you can see, for simplicity, I will directly update the
parameter name in the function declaration in the second version.

Thanks,
Zizhi Wo
