hmm_devmem_find() requires rcu_read_lock_held() but there's nothing
which actually uses the RCU protection. The only caller is
hmm_devmem_pages_create() which already grabs the mutex and does
superflous rcu_read_lock/unlock() around the function.
This doesn't add anything and just adds to confusion. Remove the RCU
protection and open-code the radix tree lookup. If this needs to
become more sophisticated in the future, let's add them back when
necessary.

Hello, Jérôme.
This came up while auditing percpu_ref users for missing explicit RCU
grace periods. HMM doesn't seem to depend on RCU protection at all,
so I thought it'd be better to remove it for now. It's only compile
tested.
Thanks.
