mm: make the vma list be doubly linked
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
It's a really simple list, and several of the users want to go backwards
in it to find the previous vma.  So rather than have to look up the
previous entry with 'find_vma_prev()' or something similar, just make it
doubly linked instead.
