[ Upstream commit 3928d4f5ee37cdc523894f6e549e6aae521d8980 ]
The vm_area_struct is one of the most fundamental memory management objects, but the management of it is entirely open-coded evertwhere, ranging from allocation and freeing (using kmem_cache_[z]alloc and kmem_cache_free) to initializing all the fields.
We want to unify this in order to end up having some unified initialization of the vmas, and the first step to this is to at least have basic allocation functions.
Right now those functions are literally just wrappers around the kmem_cache_*() calls. This is a purely mechanical conversion:
# new vma: kmem_cache_zalloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -> vm_area_alloc()
# copy old vma kmem_cache_alloc(vm_area_cachep, GFP_KERNEL) -> vm_area_dup(old)
# free vma kmem_cache_free(vm_area_cachep, vma) -> vm_area_free(vma)
to the point where the old vma passed in to the vm_area_dup() function isn't even used yet (because I've left all the old manual initialization alone).
