[RFC PATCH 07/11] mm/hmm: Delete hmm_mirror_mm_is_alive()

[Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@ziepe.ca>]

From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@mellanox.com>

Now that it is clarified that callers to hmm_range_dma_map() must hold
the mmap_sem and thus the mmget, there is no purpose for this function.

It was the last user of dead, so delete it as well.
