Note, should already be fixed differently (with an alias) by

  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=0fc74d820a012550be006ba82dd8f1e3fe6fa9f7

although when I looked at the random collection of vmalloc things it
did make me go "hmm".

It might be a better long-term idea to only implement the very generic
low-level function in mm/vmalloc.c and mm/nommu.c (ie the
__vmalloc_node_range() function) and then move all the random wrapper
functions into mm/util.c.

Because right now we effectively duplicate all those wrapper
functions, which is kind of ugly.
