Subject: [PATCH 2/6] vmalloc: rename llist field in vmap_area
The vmap_area structure has a field of type struct llist_node, named
purge_list and is used when performing lazy purge of the area.
Such field is left unused during the actual utilization of the
structure.
This patch renames the field to a more generic "area_list", to allow for
utilization outside of the purging phase.
Since the purging happens after the vmap_area is dismissed, its use is
mutually exclusive with any use performed while the area is allocated.
