[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.
