mm/vmalloc: modify struct vmap_area to reduce its size
Objective
---------
The current implementation of struct vmap_area wasted space.
After applying this commit, sizeof(struct vmap_area) has been
reduced from 11 words to 8 words.
Description
-----------
1) Pack "subtree_max_size", "vm" and "purge_list". This is no problem
because
A) "subtree_max_size" is only used when vmap_area is in "free" tree
B) "vm" is only used when vmap_area is in "busy" tree
C) "purge_list" is only used when vmap_area is in vmap_purge_list
2) Eliminate "flags".
;Since only one flag VM_VM_AREA is being used, and the same thing can be
done by judging whether "vm" is NULL, then the "flags" can be eliminated.
