Subject: mm, vmalloc: fix vmalloc users tracking properly

1f5307b1e094 ("mm, vmalloc: properly track vmalloc users") has pulled
asm/pgtable.h include dependency to linux/vmalloc.h and that turned out
to be a bad idea for some architectures. E.g. m68k fails with
   In file included from arch/m68k/include/asm/pgtable_mm.h:145:0,
                    from arch/m68k/include/asm/pgtable.h:4,
                    from include/linux/vmalloc.h:9,
                    from arch/m68k/kernel/module.c:9:
   arch/m68k/include/asm/mcf_pgtable.h: In function 'nocache_page':
>> arch/m68k/include/asm/mcf_pgtable.h:339:43: error: 'init_mm' undeclared (first use in this function)
    #define pgd_offset_k(address) pgd_offset(&init_mm, address)

as spotted by kernel build bot. nios2 fails for other reason
In file included from ./include/asm-generic/io.h:767:0,
                 from ./arch/nios2/include/asm/io.h:61,
                 from ./include/linux/io.h:25,
                 from ./arch/nios2/include/asm/pgtable.h:18,
                 from ./include/linux/mm.h:70,
                 from ./include/linux/pid_namespace.h:6,
                 from ./include/linux/ptrace.h:9,
                 from ./arch/nios2/include/uapi/asm/elf.h:23,
                 from ./arch/nios2/include/asm/elf.h:22,
                 from ./include/linux/elf.h:4,
                 from ./include/linux/module.h:15,
                 from init/main.c:16:
./include/linux/vmalloc.h: In function '__vmalloc_node_flags':
./include/linux/vmalloc.h:99:40: error: 'PAGE_KERNEL' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'GFP_KERNEL'?

which is due to the newly added #include <asm/pgtable.h>, which on nios2
includes <linux/io.h> and thus <asm/io.h> and <asm-generic/io.h> which
again includes <linux/vmalloc.h>.

Tweaking that around just turns out a bigger headache than necessary. 
This patch reverts 1f5307b1e094 and reimplements the original fix in a
different way.  __vmalloc_node_flags can stay static inline which will
cover vmalloc* functions.  We only have one external user (kvmalloc_node)
and we can export __vmalloc_node_flags_caller and provide the caller
directly.  This is much simpler and it doesn't really need any games with
header files.
