Subject: [PATCH v2 6/8] mm, vmalloc: iterate vmap_area_list, instead of vmlist, in vmallocinfo()

From: Joonsoo Kim <js1304@...il.com>

This patch is preparing step for removing vmlist entirely.
For above purpose, we change iterating a vmap_list codes to iterating a
vmap_area_list. It is somewhat trivial change, but just one thing
should be noticed.

Using vmap_area_list in vmallocinfo() introduce ordering problem in SMP
system. In s_show(), we retrieve some values from vm_struct. vm_struct's
values is not fully setup when va->vm is assigned. Full setup is notified
by removing VM_UNLIST flag without holding a lock. When we see that
VM_UNLIST is removed, it is not ensured that vm_struct has proper values
in view of other CPUs. So we need smp_[rw]mb for ensuring that proper
values is assigned when we see that VM_UNLIST is removed.

Therefore, this patch not only change a iteration list, but also add a
appropriate smp_[rw]mb to right places.
