mm, x86/mm: Untangle address space layout definitions from basic pgtable type definitions
- Untangle the somewhat incestous way of how VMALLOC_START is used all across the
  kernel, but is, on x86, defined deep inside one of the lowest level page table headers.
  It doesn't help that vmalloc.h only includes a single asm header:

     #include <asm/page.h>           /* pgprot_t */

  So there was no existing cross-arch way to decouple address layout
  definitions from page.h details. I used this:

   #ifndef VMALLOC_START
   # include <asm/vmalloc.h>
   #endif

  This way every architecture that wants to simplify page.h can do so.

- Also on x86 we had a couple of LDT related inline functions that used
  the late-stage address space layout positions - but these could be
  uninlined without real trouble - the end result is cleaner this way as
  well.
