ia64: don't alias VMALLOC_END to vmalloc_end
If CONFIG_VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP is enabled, ia64 defines macro VMALLOC_END as unsigned long variable vmalloc_end which is adjusted to prepare room for vmemmap. This becomes probnlematic if a local variables vmalloc_end is defined in some function (not very unlikely) and VMALLOC_END is used in the function - the function thinks its referencing the global VMALLOC_END value but would be referencing its own local vmalloc_end variable. There's no reason VMALLOC_END should be a macro. Just define it as an unsigned long variable if CONFIG_VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP is set to avoid nasty surprises.
