Subject: [patch] mm, vmalloc: constify allocation mask

tmp_mask in the __vmalloc_area_node() iteration never changes so it can be 
moved into function scope and marked with const.  This causes the movl and 
orl to only be done once per call rather than area->nr_pages times.

nested_gfp can also be marked const.
