Subject: mm: abstract vma_address() and introduce vma_anon_address()
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 15:38:29 +0100

Introduce __vma_address() which abstracts the VMA start page offset field
as pgoff_start, then update vma_address() to use it.

Then introduce vma_anon_address() which does the equivalent of
vma_address(), only using the virtual page offset of the VMA rather than
the file-backed one.

Also add an assert to ensure that the function is not called for mappings
which are file-backed but not MAP_PRIVATE to ensure it is only used in the
correct places.

This will be necessary for determining the address of a folio's index
within a VMA when the folio belongs to a MAP_PRIVATE file-backed VMA but
has been CoW'd, and thus is anonymous, once the anonymous VMA page offset
field is used for the reverse mapping.

No callers are updated, so no functional change intended.
