Subject: [RFC 2/4] mm: separate memory allocation and actual work in alloc_vmap_area()

alloc_vmap_area() is allocating memory for the vmap_area, and
performing the actual lookup of the vm area and vmap_area
initialization.

This prevents us from using a pre-allocated memory for the map_area
structure, which can be used in some cases to minimize the number
of required memory allocations.

Let's keep the memory allocation part in alloc_vmap_area() and
separate everything else into init_vmap_area().
