[RFC 03/14] fork: Clean-up naming of vm_strack/vm_struct variables in vmap stacks code

From: Pasha Tatashin
Date: Mon Mar 11 2024 - 12:47:19 EST


There are two data types: "struct vm_struct" and "struct vm_stack" that
have the same local variable names: vm_stack, or vm, or s, which makes
code confusing to read.

Change the code so the naming is consisent:

struct vm_struct is always called vm_area
struct vm_stack is always called vm_stack
