The private field of mm_walk struct point to an hmm_vma_walk struct and not to the hmm_range struct desired. Fix to get proper struct pointer.

This fix looks good. I also checked the other uses of walk->private, of course, but it was only this one that was wrong.
I think this patch also belongs in -stable, because it is a simple bug fix.
For the description, well...actually, because ->range is the first element in struct hmm_vma_walk, you probably end up with the same pointer value, both before and after this fix. So maybe there are no symptoms to see. Maybe that's an argument for *not* putting it in -stable, too. I'll leave that question to more experienced people.
Either way, you can add:
