mm: convert mm->cpu_vm_cpumask into cpumask_var_t

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.
