mm: remove unused vmf_insert_mixed_prot()

Patch series "Remove drm/ttm-specific mm changes".

Functionality was added specifically for the DRM TTM driver to support
mapping memory for VM_MIXEDMAP VMAs with customised protection flags,
however this has now been rolled back as issues were found with this
approach.

This series removes the mm changes too, retaining some of the useful
comments.


This patch (of 3):

The sole user of vmf_insert_mixed_prot(), the drm ttm module, stopped
using this in commit f91142c6 ("drm/ttm: nuke VM_MIXEDMAP on BO
mappings v3") citing use of VM_MIXEDMAP in this case being terribly
broken.

Remove this now-dead code and references to it, but retain the useful
description of the prot != vma->vm_page_prot case, moving it to
vmf_insert_pfn_prot() instead.
