mm, vmalloc: iterate vmap_area_list, instead of vmlist in vread/vwrite()

Now, when we hold a vmap_area_lock, va->vm can't be discarded.  So we can
safely access to va->vm when iterating a vmap_area_list with holding a
vmap_area_lock.  With this property, change iterating vmlist codes in
vread/vwrite() to iterating vmap_area_list.

There is a little difference relate to lock, because vmlist_lock is mutex,
but, vmap_area_lock is spin_lock.  It may introduce a spinning overhead
during vread/vwrite() is executing.  But, these are debug-oriented
functions, so this overhead is not real problem for common case.
