Lorenzo Stoakes 8876dc0780 mm/vma: remove mmap_action->success_hook

This hook was introduced to work around code that seemed to absolutely
require access to a VMA pointer upon mmap().

However, providing this hook leaves a backdoor to drivers getting access
to the very thing mmap_prepare eliminates - a pointer to the VMA.

Let's solve this contradiction by removing it.  The key intended user was
hugetlb, however it seems that the best course now is to avoid allowing
all drivers the ability to work around mmap_prepare, and find a different
solution there.
