mm, vmalloc: fix vmalloc users tracking properly

Commit 1f5307b1e094 ("mm, vmalloc: properly track vmalloc users") has
pulled asm/pgtable.h include dependency to linux/vmalloc.h and that
turned out to be a bad idea for some architectures. E.g. m68k fails
with

In file included from arch/m68k/include/asm/pgtable_mm.h:145:0,
from arch/m68k/include/asm/pgtable.h:4,
from include/linux/vmalloc.h:9,
from arch/m68k/kernel/module.c:9:
arch/m68k/include/asm/mcf_pgtable.h: In function 'nocache_page':

#define pgd_offset_k(address) pgd_offset(&init_mm, address)

as spotted by kernel build bot. nios2 fails for other reason

In file included from include/asm-generic/io.h:767:0,

from init/main.c:16:
include/linux/vmalloc.h: In function '__vmalloc_node_flags':
include/linux/vmalloc.h:99:40: error: 'PAGE_KERNEL' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'GFP_KERNEL'?

which is due to the newly added #include <asm/pgtable.h>, which on nios2
includes <linux/io.h> and thus <asm/io.h> and <asm-generic/io.h> which
again includes <linux/vmalloc.h>.

Tweaking that around just turns out a bigger headache than necessary.
This patch reverts 1f5307b1e094 and reimplements the original fix in a
different way. __vmalloc_node_flags can stay static inline which will
cover vmalloc* functions. We only have one external user
(kvmalloc_node) and we can export __vmalloc_node_flags_caller and
provide the caller directly. This is much simpler and it doesn't really
need any games with header files.
