mm: vm_unmapped_area() lookup function

Implement vm_unmapped_area() using the rb_subtree_gap and highest_vm_end
information to look up for suitable virtual address space gaps.

struct vm_unmapped_area_info is used to define the desired allocation
request:
 - lowest or highest possible address matching the remaining constraints
 - desired gap length
 - low/high address limits that the gap must fit into
 - alignment mask and offset

Also update the generic arch_get_unmapped_area[_topdown] functions to make
use of vm_unmapped_area() instead of implementing a brute force search.
