Subject: [PATCH 2/6] vmalloc: rename llist field in vmap_area
Date:   Tue, 27 Mar 2018 18:37:38 +0300

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.
