Vmalloc page support is removed from shm_get_kernel_pages() and the
get_kernel_pages() call is replaced by calls to get_page(). With no
remaining callers of get_kernel_pages() the function is removed.

Merge tag 'remove-get_kernel_pages-for-6.3' of https://git.linaro.org/people/jens.wiklander/linux-tee
Pull TEE update from Jens Wiklander:
"Remove get_kernel_pages()
Vmalloc page support is removed from shm_get_kernel_pages() and the
get_kernel_pages() call is replaced by calls to get_page(). With no
remaining callers of get_kernel_pages() the function is removed"
[ This looks like it's just some random 'tee' cleanup, but the bigger
picture impetus for this is really to to to remove historical
confusion with mixed use of kernel virtual addresses and 'struct page'
pointers.
Kernel virtual pointers in the vmalloc space is then particularly
confusing - both for looking up a page pointer (when trying to then
unify a "virtual address or page" interface) and _particularly_ when
mixed with HIGHMEM support and the kmap*() family of remapping.
This is particularly true with HIGHMEM getting much less test coverage
with 32-bit architectures being increasingly legacy targets.
So we actively wanted to remove get_kernel_pages() to make sure nobody
else used it too, and thus the 'tee' part is "finally remove last
user".

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
