[PATCH] vmalloc: optimization, cleanup, bugfixes
- reorder 'struct vm_struct' to speedup lookups on CPUS with small cache
lines. The fields 'next,addr,size' should be now in the same cache line,
to speedup lookups.
- One minor cleanup in __get_vm_area_node()
- Bugfixes in vmalloc_user() and vmalloc_32_user() NULL returns from
__vmalloc() and __find_vm_area() were not tested.
