[PATCH v3 2/7] mm/vmalloc.c: add flags to mark vm_map_ram area

[Baoquan He]

Through vmalloc API, a virtual kernel area is reserved for physical
address mapping. And vmap_area is used to track them, while vm_struct
is allocated to associate with the vmap_area to store more information
and passed out.

However, area reserved via vm_map_ram() is an exception. It doesn't have
vm_struct to associate with vmap_area. And we can't recognize the
vmap_area with '->vm == NULL' as a vm_map_ram() area because the normal
freeing path will set va->vm = NULL before unmapping, please see
function remove_vm_area().

Meanwhile, there are two kinds of handling for vm_map_ram area. One is
the whole vmap_area being reserved and mapped at one time through
vm_map_area() interface; the other is the whole vmap_area with
VMAP_BLOCK_SIZE size being reserved, while mapped into split regions
with smaller size via vb_alloc().

To mark the area reserved through vm_map_ram(), add flags field into
struct vmap_area. Bit 0 indicates this is vm_map_ram area created
through vm_map_ram() interface, while bit 1 marks out the type of
vm_map_ram area which makes use of vmap_block to manage split regions
via vb_alloc/free().

This is a preparatoin for later use.
