mm, vmalloc: export vmap_area_list, instead of vmlist

Although our intention is to unexport internal structure entirely, but
there is one exception for kexec.  kexec dumps address of vmlist and
makedumpfile uses this information.

We are about to remove vmlist, then another way to retrieve information of
vmalloc layer is needed for makedumpfile.  For this purpose, we export
vmap_area_list, instead of vmlist.
