Lorenzo Stoakes 6387563e6e mm/vma: update vma_shrink() to not pass start, pgoff parameters ...

vma_shrink() is only used by relocate_vma_down() to shrink the tail of a
VMA. Therefore neither the start nor the pgoff parameters make any sense.

It seemed we were passing the pgoff parameter solely to satisfy
vma_set_range()'s requirement for pgoff being specified.

Since vma_set_range() is now isolated to vma.c, we can simply introduce
__vma_set_range() which sets only vma->vm_[start, end], and invoke this
instead, removing start and pgoff from vma_shrink() altogether.

No functional change intended.
