mm, vmalloc: protect va->vm by vmap_area_lock

Browse source 
Inserting and removing an entry to vmlist is linear time complexity, so
it is inefficient.  Following patches will try to remove vmlist
entirely.  This patch is preparing step for it.

For removing vmlist, iterating vmlist codes should be changed to
iterating a vmap_area_list.  Before implementing that, we should make
sure that when we iterate a vmap_area_list, accessing to va->vm doesn't
cause a race condition.  This patch ensure that when iterating a
vmap_area_list, there is no race condition for accessing to vm_struct.
