Subject: [PATCH 11/29] mm: only allow page table mappings for built-in zsmalloc

This allows to unexport map_vm_area and unmap_kernel_range, which are
rather deep internal and should not be available to modules, as they for
example allow fine grained control of mapping permissions, and also
allow splitting the setup of a vmalloc area and the actual mapping and
thus expose vmalloc internals.

zsmalloc is typically built-in and continues to work (just like the
percpu-vm code using a similar patter), while modular zsmalloc also
continues to work, but must use copies.
