Objective
---------
The current implementation of struct vmap_area wasted space.

After applying this commit, sizeof(struct vmap_area) has been
reduced from 11 words to 8 words.

Description
-----------
1) Pack "subtree_max_size", "vm" and "purge_list".
It is correct because these three variables are used in different
states.
    A) "subtree_max_size" is only used when vmap_area is in
       "free" tree
    B) "vm" is only used when vmap_area is in "busy" tree
    C) "purge_list" is only used when vmap_area is in
       vmap_purge_list

2) Eliminate "flags".
Since now only one flag VM_VM_AREA is being used, and the same
thing can be done by judging whether "vm" is NULL, then the
"flags" can be eliminated.
