Currently we are implementing vmalloc_to_pfn() as a wrapper of
vmalloc_to_page(), which is implemented as follow:
1. walks the page talbes to generates the corresponding pfn,
2. then wraps the pfn to struct page,
3. returns it.
And vmalloc_to_pfn() re-wraps the vmalloc_to_page() to get the pfn.
This seems too circuitous, so this patch reverses the way:
implementing the vmalloc_to_page() as a wrapper of vmalloc_to_pfn().
This makes vmalloc_to_pfn() and vmalloc_to_page() slightly effective.
No functional change.
