Revision v2 of 3 in this series.

  1. v1 [diff vs current]
  2. resend [diff vs current]
  3. v2 current
In order to stay consistent between functions which manipulate a vm_flags_t
argument of the form of vma_flags_...() and those which manipulate a
VMA (in this case the flags field of a VMA), rename
vma_flag_[test/set]_atomic() to vma_[test/set]_atomic_flag().

This lays the groundwork for adding VMA flag manipulation functions in a
subsequent commit.
