mm: convert mm->cpu_vm_cpumask into cpumask_var_t
cpumask_t is very big struct and cpu_vm_mask is placed wrong position.
It might lead to reduce cache hit ratio.
This patch has two change.
1) Move the place of cpumask into last of mm_struct. Because usually cpumask
is accessed only front bits when the system has cpu-hotplug capability
2) Convert cpu_vm_mask into cpumask_var_t. It may help to reduce memory
footprint if cpumask_size() will use nr_cpumask_bits properly in future.
In addition, this patch change the name of cpu_vm_mask with cpu_vm_mask_var.
It may help to detect out of tree cpu_vm_mask users.
This patch has no functional change.

thinking SMP cache/tlb flushing must be so inefficient, this is in
fact an area where many optimizations are possible. For example,
if it can be proven that a user address space has never executed
-on a cpu (see vma->cpu_vm_mask), one need not perform a flush
+on a cpu (see mm_cpumask()), one need not perform a flush
for this address space on that cpu.
First, the TLB flushing interfaces, since they are the simplest. The
