[RFC PATCH 03/13] mm: Rename 'unmap_region' and add mm_struct argument

Rename the 'unmap_region' function to 'munmap_region' so that it uses the
same naming pattern as the do_mmap <-> mmap_region couple. In addition
also make the new 'munmap_region' function publicly available to all other
kernel sources.

In addition, also add to the function the mm_struct it should operate on
as additional argument. Before, the function simply used the memory map of
the current task. However, with the introduction of first class virtual
address spaces, munmap_region need also be able to operate on other memory
maps than just the current task's one. Accordingly, add a new argument to
the function so that one can define explicitly which memory map should be
used.
