mm: vmalloc: remove global vmap_area_root rb-tree
Store allocated objects in a separate nodes. A va->va_start address is converted into a correct node where it should be placed and resided. An addr_to_node() function is used to do a proper address conversion to determine a node that contains a VA. Such approach balances VAs across nodes as a result an access becomes scalable. Number of nodes in a system depends on number of CPUs. Please note: 1. As of now allocated VAs are bound to a node-0. It means the patch does not give any difference comparing with a current behavior; 2. The global vmap_area_lock, vmap_area_root are removed as there is no need in it anymore. The vmap_area_list is still kept and is _empty_. It is exported for a kexec only; 3. The vmallocinfo and vread() have to be reworked to be able to handle multiple nodes.
