Commit Message

When VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES was added, it was defined with the same value as
VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS. This doesn't seem like it will cause any big
functional problems other than some excess flushing for VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES
allocations.

Redefine VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES to have its own value. Also, move the comment
and remove whitespace for VM_KASAN such that the flags lower down are less
likely to be missed in the future.

Fixes: b944afc9d64d ("mm: add a VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES flag for vmap")

Good catch!

Is this worth a Cc stable ?

Looks good to me.

Er ... I think the problem was that VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS was put away from
all the other flags!

Why not this?

Well it wasn't that far away at the time, the VM_KASAN comment and
whitespace got added later. But yes not ideal.

128 char line, but looks better to me.
