x86/hyperv: use vmalloc_exec for the hypercall page



Patch series "decruft the vmalloc API", v2.

Peter noticed that with some dumb luck you can toast the kernel address
space with exported vmalloc symbols.

I used this as an opportunity to decruft the vmalloc.c API and make it
much more systematic.  This also removes any chance to create vmalloc
mappings outside the designated areas or using executable permissions
from modules.  Besides that it removes more than 300 lines of code.

This patch (of 29):

Use the designated helper for allocating executable kernel memory, and
remove the now unused PAGE_KERNEL_RX define.
