mm/vmalloc: use physical page count in vread_iter() for VM_ALLOC areas

For VM_ALLOC areas in vread_iter(), derive the vm area size from
vm->nr_pages rather than get_vm_area_size().

Only VM_ALLOC areas are subject to vrealloc() shrinking, which frees pages
without reducing the virtual reservation size.  Switch to using
vm->nr_pages for VM_ALLOC areas so the reader remains correct once shrink
support is added.  Other mapping types (vmap, ioremap) do not initialize
nr_pages and will continue using get_vm_area_size().
