The vm_reserve_va_node struct is essentially a special VM area that
can be used for sparse mappings and fixed mappings. The name of this
struct is somewhat confusing (as node is typically used for list
items). Though this struct is a part of a list it doesn't really
make sense to call this a list item since it's much more. Based on
that the struct has been renamed to nvgpu_vm_area to capture the
actual use of the struct more accurately.
This also moves all of the management code of vm areas to a new file
devoted solely to vm_area management.
Also add a brief overview of the VM architecture. This should help
other people follow along the hierachy of ownership and lifetimes in
the rather complex MM code.
