mm: remove misleading 'unlikely' hint in vms_gather_munmap_vmas()
Performance analysis using branch annotation on a fleet of 200 hosts
running web servers revealed that the 'unlikely' hint in
vms_gather_munmap_vmas() was 100% consistently incorrect. In all observed
cases, the branch behavior contradicted the hint.
Remove the 'unlikely' qualifier from the condition checking 'vms->uf'. By
doing so, we allow the compiler to make optimization decisions based on
its own heuristics and profiling data, rather than relying on a static
hint that has proven to be inaccurate in real-world scenarios.
