Revert "mm/vmalloc: interchage the implementation of vmalloc_to_{pfn,page}"

Revert commit ece86e222d, which was intended as a small performance
improvement.

Despite the claim that the patch doesn't introduce any functional
changes in fact it does.

The "no page" path behaves different now.  Originally, vmalloc_to_page
might return NULL under some conditions, with new implementation it
returns pfn_to_page(0) which is not the same as NULL.

Simple test shows the difference.

test.c

#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/vmalloc.h>
#include <linux/mm.h>

int __init myi(void)
{
	struct page *p;
	void *v;

	v = vmalloc(PAGE_SIZE);
	/* trigger the "no page" path in vmalloc_to_page*/
	vfree(v);

	p = vmalloc_to_page(v);

	pr_err("expected val = NULL, returned val = %p", p);

	return -EBUSY;
}

void __exit mye(void)
{

}
module_init(myi)
module_exit(mye)

Before interchange:
expected val = NULL, returned val =   (null)

After interchange:
expected val = NULL, returned val = c7ebe000
