The alloc_vm_area() is another method for drivers to
vmap/map_kernel_range that uses apply_to_page_range() rather than the
direct vmalloc walkers. This is missing the page table modification
tracking, and the ability to synchronize the PTE updates afterwards.
Provide flush_vm_area() for the users of alloc_vm_area() that assumes
the worst and ensures that the page directories are correctly flushed
upon construction.
The impact is most pronounced on x86_32 due to the delayed set_pmd().
