------------------------------------------------------
From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: introduce vma_init()

Not all VMAs allocated with vm_area_alloc().  Some of them allocated on
stack or in data segment.

The new helper can be use to initialize VMA properly regardless where it
was allocated.
