When mixing lots of vmallocs and set_memory_*() (which calls vm_unmap_aliases()) I encountered situations where the performance degraded severely due to the walking of the entire vmap_area list each invocation. One simple improvement is to add the lazily freed vmap_area to a separate lockless free list, such that we then avoid having to walk the full list on each purge. Signed-off-by:
