mm: vmalloc: group declarations depending on CONFIG_MMU together

Patch series "x86/module: use large ROX pages for text allocations", v7.

These patches add support for using large ROX pages for allocations of
executable memory on x86.

They address Andy's comments [1] about having executable mappings for code
that was not completely formed.

The approach taken is to allocate ROX memory along with writable but not
executable memory and use the writable copy to perform relocations and
alternatives patching.  After the module text gets into its final shape,
the contents of the writable memory is copied into the actual ROX location
using text poking.

The allocations of the ROX memory use vmalloc(VMAP_ALLOW_HUGE_MAP) to
allocate PMD aligned memory, fill that memory with invalid instructions
and in the end remap it as ROX.  Portions of these large pages are handed
out to execmem_alloc() callers without any changes to the permissions.
When the memory is freed with execmem_free() it is invalidated again so
that it won't contain stale instructions.

The module memory allocation, x86 code dealing with relocations and
alternatives patching take into account the existence of the two copies,
the writable memory and the ROX memory at the actual allocated virtual
address.

This patch (of 8):

There are a couple of declarations that depend on CONFIG_MMU in
include/linux/vmalloc.h spread all over the file.

Group them all together to improve code readability.

No functional changes.
