Pasha Tatashin 90eb270d8e fork: clean-up naming of vm_stack/vm_struct variables in vmap stacks code
There are two data types: "struct vm_struct" and "struct vm_stack" that
have the same local variable names: vm_stack, or vm, or s, which makes the
code confusing to read.

Change the code so the naming is consistent:

struct vm_struct is always called vm_area
struct vm_stack is always called vm_stack

One change altering vfree(vm_stack) to vfree(vm_area->addr) may look like
a semantic change but it is not: vm_area->addr points to the vm_stack. 
This was done to improve readability.

[linus.walleij@linaro.org: rebased and added new users of the variable names, address review comments]
