access_remote_vm() passes through parameters to __access_remote_vm()
directly, so remove the __access_remote_vm() function from mm.h aand use
access_remote_vm() in the one caller that needs it (ptrace_access_vm()).

This allows future adjustments to the GUP-internal __access_remote_vm()
function while keeping the access_remote_vm() function stable.

Wondering why we even still have __access_remote_vm() in the first 
place, if it really should just be access_remote_vm() directly.

Why do we even have two versions?
