xen: replace callers of alloc_vm_area()/free_vm_area() with xen_ prefixed one

Browse Source 
Don't use alloc_vm_area()/free_vm_area() directly, instead define
xen_alloc_vm_area()/xen_free_vm_area() and use them.

alloc_vm_area()/free_vm_area() are used to allocate/free area which
are for grant table mapping. Xen/x86 grant table is based on virtual
address so that alloc_vm_area()/free_vm_area() are suitable.
On the other hand Xen/ia64 (and Xen/powerpc) grant table is based on
pseudo physical address (guest physical address) so that allocation
should be done differently.
The original version of xenified Linux/IA64 have its own
allocate_vm_area()/free_vm_area() definitions which don't allocate vm area
contradictory to those names.
Now vanilla Linux already has its definitions so that it's impossible
to have IA64 definitions of allocate_vm_area()/free_vm_area().
Instead introduce xen_allocate_vm_area()/xen_free_vm_area() and use them.
