cpumask_t is very big struct and cpu_vm_mask is placed wrong position.
It might lead to reduce cache hit ratio.

This patch has two change.
1) Move the place of cpumask into last of mm_struct. Because usually cpumask
   is accessed only front bits when the system has cpu-hotplug capability
2) Convert cpu_vm_mask into cpumask_var_t. It may help to reduce memory
   footprint if cpumask_size() will use nr_cpumask_bits properly in future.

In addition, this patch change the name of cpu_vm_mask with cpu_vm_mask_var.
It may help to detect out of tree cpu_vm_mask users.

This patch has no functional change.

<title>mm: provide init_mm mm_context initializer</title>

Provide an INIT_MM_CONTEXT intializer macro which can be used to
statically initialize mm_struct:mm_context of init_mm.  This way we can
get rid of code which will do the initialization at run time (on s390).

In addition the current code can be found at a place where it is not
expected.  So let's have a common initializer which architectures
can use if needed.

This is based on a patch from Suzuki Poulose.

* create mm/init-mm.c, move init_mm there
* remove INIT_MM, initialize init_mm with C99 initializer
* unexport init_mm on all arches:

  init_mm is already unexported on x86.

  One strange place is some OMAP driver (drivers/video/omap/) which
  won't build modular, but it's already wants get_vm_area() export.
  Somebody should look there.
