Yes, this appears much simpler.

You should be using mmap_read_lock(kvm->mm) with recent kernels.

The first find_vma_intersection() was called for the range spanning the
entire memslot, but you have code to check if vma remains valid for the
new addr in each iteration. Guess you wanted to get vma for one page at
a time and use it for subsequent pages until it covers the range?
