Pengfei Li 688fcbfc06 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.

README

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.
