mm/vmalloc: keep a separate lazy-free list
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.
