walk_page_range_novma() can be used to walk page tables or the kernel or for firmware. These page tables may contain entries that are not backed by a struct page and so it isn't (in general) possible to take the PTE lock for the pte_entry() callback. So update walk_pte_range() to only take the lock when no_vma==false by splitting out the inner loop to a separate function and add a comment explaining the difference to walk_page_range_novma().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
